It was not too long ago that a whack with a ruler would happen in US schools as well. Sorry to say, I do nto consider this to be "abuse" at all. If we brought back this type of treatment maybe we wouldn't have 17 year old kids who act like the girls in the video below.

OMG!!!!
It was humiliating for those children...and you can see they are all very scared to have their turn.
can you imagine every day..how they live in fear for school.
What you said above shows a lot about you..I really hope you don't have children...
I saw another vidio yesterday from the same part of the world with the police..pulling at a young girls hair,and taunting her. I noticed in this video that the girls got it worse.
Damn it this world is screwed up..makes me want to just go fight these a***holes,and take them all out. Instead I have just sit here and cry, wondering why a loving God could stand by and watch so much torture (most much worse) being done to the most innocent ,and vulnerable in our world.
It gets really hard to deal with the sadness ,and anger I have inside when I see crap like this.
This may be because you don't understand. Most of those children will also be really happy and respect that teacher and look for ways to please him in behaving well, they probably love the guy. children do have more respect for adaults that do not let them rule them.
The whack he gave was so light all the crying, cringing and stuff kids do is all show, ask any kid who grows up how much the smack hurt at the time...usualy not much at all but they will remember what they did that caused it and work toward not getting it next time.
BTW if you are Christian the answer to why a loving God could stand by and watch so much torture is because he said "spare the rod spoil the child in so many words he also disciplined his people even to killing them in bunches!!!

If you think these children will respect that man ..you're WRONG....they will fear him.
OMG!!! spare the rod ,and spoil the child referred to a rod of measurement ..meaning that if you did not show children the errors of their judgements..you would be spoiling them.
Yeah..God said go whack your kids in one part of his bible,and in another part says whoever harms one of these ,and causes them to stumble should be thrown in a pit.
I don't know who your sick version of God came from.....but if you honestly believe God told people to kill children in bunches....you need help.edit on 27-5-2011 by gabby2011 because: (no reason given)

While I see where you are coming from, the teacher seems to be punishing learning. What I saw was him marking papers and small children being hit with a ruler....did they misspell something?
While I do think that much of today has gotten a bit soft on kids, I think there should be a line somewhere. My mother wouldnt spank me for getting a wrong answer on a test or not being able to pronounce a word correctly, she would teach me how to do it, you know with words. The times where I would swear, or hit my brother or steal, or destroy peoples gardens as a little bugger growing up, I got a spanking and a grounding (with all luxuries stripped of my room like toys and fun stuff). I cannot bring myself to condone a teacher disciplining a child for school work.
I dont condone a teacher hitting any student, but regardless, even with your reasoning, how was he right in disciplining?

I think "criticized" is a better term, than judged. Just picture putting the Western culture in the spot light for a moment of time then hopefully you will understand.
