What if kids don't change, should they be on scheduled beatings?

I know a fact relevant to the effectiveness/ineffectiveness of physical corporal punishment. :)

Upon being struck, the nerve endings sense the skin suffers an injury. Blood rushes to the area of the injury. There's a fact of effect for you. :D


That is not a "fact" relevant to the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of said punishment. All it is demonstrating is that there is a physiological reaction to the slap.

I'm hesitant to support corporal punishment. If (and I stress 'if') it's to be used, I'd hope it be reserved for the most extreme of cases. When I was in school, most punishments were of a more practical nature. If the issue was not doing homework, the students was held back at lunch time to finish it. If he were caught littering in the school yard, he'd be given a few breaks of cleaning duty with a bag and stick to pick up any rubbish he sees in the schoolyard, etc. The punishment was generally intended to correct the infraction in a practical manner that the pupil could logically relate to.

The only time I could see striking a pupil to fall within that logic would be if the teacher struck him in defense of another. That would have to be a pretty extreme case since it would essentially have to involve a fight with the teacher having failed to break the fight already and is therefore using force to protect the other pupil.

I wouldn't let my kid meet a Priest in private let alone get hit by a teacher in private.

I think you will find that the brats and 'bad apples' wouldn't be enrolled in a soccer program.
There's the odd one. I call it the HES - hockey enforcer syndrome. It isn't as prevalent in girls as it is in boys. Good thing about soccer rules is that it is a nono to tackle someone who doesn't have the ball.

So if you slap someone, the welt isn't relevant to the effectiveness of the slap? rofflmfao

that's not what you said.
"I know a fact relevant to the effectiveness/ineffectiveness of physical corporal punishment".
The welt is the effect. The slap is relevant to bringing up the welt. The slap is physical corporal punishment. DUH

I see, so the only reason for corporal punishment, in your mind, would be to physically harm the child by inducing a welt. If no welt is induced then the punishment is ineffectual in your opinion. That's good to know. Do you have young children?

8O Kreskin has cams everywhere his kid goes to make sure of that, too. ;)

No not all, but do understand that abuse is always about power. I'm not interested in licensing more of it.
