Well, I'm not sure that there's any evidence that corporal punishment actually worked tbh, aside from a very vague "is that why society's gone wrong?" sort of notion.So.... @meandlis - what's your take on this?
Brilliant postAnyone that uses violence against children is just plainly wrong. I have worked within Child protection for over a decade and to be honest, I am quite surprised at some of the posts on here.
Imagine you make a mistake in your workplace, or you do something that is not within the boundaries of your role, would you expect your boss to hit you to make you see the error of your ways??
Hitting children justifies the use of violence to solve problems. That is wrong. Violence in any form against children is abhorrent, and any adult that thinks that it is a solution should have a good long hard think about how they are rationalising it.
There is a reason that so many adults who were abused as kids, turn out to be abusers in adulthood. They have had it reinforced that their behaviour is acceptable because it was normalised with them. It is the same with corporal punishment.
I think a lot of post are just light hearted tbh. We personally have never smacked our children and understand that they would simply hit back. I was smacked with a ruler in school, it never did me any harm and what I will say children then had so much respect for teachers, we simply knew who was the boss not through fear should I add.Anyone that uses violence against children is just plainly wrong.

I never had any fear when I was in school. Hitting children is wrong, just simply saying that a slap on my hand never turned me into an abuser. I'm just speaking from personal experience.Respect is earned, not forced. If a Teacher, or any adult, resorts to violence, no matter how minute, then they command fear, not respect. There is a huge difference.
I see it as very much black and white. Violence against children is wrong. Take a ruler and hit someone in the street, see if it earns you any respect.
Like I have mentioned previous, parenting plays a huge roll in behaviour, we have never hit our children and never needed to. The look is enough for themI never had any fear when I was in school.

Because they know he or she cant do anything about it. Crazy country we live in were civil rights only apply to the aggressor. I had the slipper the cane and the ruler at school but it taught me respect, I would always stand for a adult on the bus, open doors for ladies . Even our lord has a punishment if your bad you go to hell were you burn ?? bring it back sooner the better,I dont think it would make any difference to some of the youth of today. Most of them would simply take the cane out of the teachers hand and attack them with it instead
