I was hit with wooden 100cm ruler in middle school multiple times, it is painful for an hour or so but not emotionally damaging or anything, I'd be happy to meet that teacher today, I dropped out from high school eventually after I've been reducled and mocked at by a principal repeatedly as I didn't like to shave my facial hair, which I assume happen all the time and isn't as controversial. I kept dreaming of vandalizing his car for a decade but didn't want to get in trouble.

- bamboozled 5mo agoThey are not going to perform a prison style caning ffs...it's going to be a light but firm tap on the knuckles.
- blks 5mo agoYou’ll be happy to meet him to do what? Hit him with a ruler multiple times?
- yowo 5mo agoNo, give him a handshake and thank him for being a good teacher who didn't let me and my colleagues turn the class to a zoo and teached us discipline. Corporal punishment is not bad when its fair, not arbitrary, unjust, nor physically damaging.
- arjie 5mo agoSurely there is some irony to claiming no emotional impact while you ruminate in dreams about revenge. I got in terrible trouble in school and did act out but never in reaction to corporal punishment. As it so happens, if you’re a boy the challenge is to take it without showing any sign of its effect.
- wvbdmp 5mo agoThe revenge fantasies were for being bullied, not justly punished, and by different people. Not that I condone corporeal punishment.
- sayamqazi 5mo agoThese things only hurt emotionally when done wrongfully.
- ecshafer 5mo agoThis matches with my experience. Men really don't hold grudges against authority that give them stern, but fair punishments. Think of any sports coaches that make their athletes do extra running or push ups or whatever for punishment. They garner respect from their players, and there isn't real negativity towards them. Its cruel, arbitrary punishments, or mocking that causes resentment. If you take a test and get a 70 but its a fair grade, thats how it goes. If you deserved a 95 though, or the professor calls you an idiot, that is the antagonism generating event.
