Core Issue The core issue is that administering or withdrawing physical activity as punishment is inappropriate and constitutes an unsound education practice. Inappropriate Exercise used as punishment is considered a form of corporal punishment in many states (e.g., California, Massachusetts, and Hawaii).
State boards of education in Hawaii and California prohibit withholding physical activity or using it as punishment. The absence of support for using physical activity as punishment renders its use by a teacher or coach indefensible, from a legal liability standpoint.
