I was punished like this many times
when I was in grade school right here
in North Carolina, USA in the
70's.
My school principal had a paddle in his top
desk drawer which I was the receiver
of that many times.
My father used his leather belt on my
hiney many times. Sometimes it hurt
so bad I couldn't sit down for a day or two.
And my mom used a switch from a bush
or used her shoe.
if I did something wrong, I was punished.
end of story.
this is called parenting
spare the rod, spoil the child
I don't see anything wrong with the video.
children need to be taught that there
are repercussions for breaking rules.
If not, half of them will be in prison
by the time they're 21 yrs old.
Now days, all they do as punishment
is send you to your room or either expel
you from school.
How is that punishment???
When being home means
8 more hrs of video games
and TV ???

That's crappy parenting and you are a good example where parents like this come from. Children should be raised with love. Don't be a piece of #, please.

The meaning of discipline is not to get others to conform by reward or punishment, its having discipline, the capacity to learn.
Learn not from others, that would be merely indoctrination, but through observation.
We build consciousness that way, through observation (our senses) we become aware of our surrounding.
Naturaly we can and must straight our children, but do it in a way that the child understands by explaining wat she or he did wrong and why it was wrong.
Just beating because one wants the child to do better is pure and utterly unnecessary violence that can only result in fear and f*ked up minds
