I've gotten a couple of strokes on the palm for stuff like mischief and failure to memorise my spelling lists and I still thank her for that.
Yes, I thank her for caning me. I didn't misbehave more than other kids my age and had always been among the best in class and in standard.micknlea wrote:I've gotten a couple of strokes on the palm for stuff like mischief and failure to memorise my spelling lists and I still thank her for that.
You thank her for caning you? Why? You were so badly behaved that you wouldn't have done it otherwise? You are saying this tongue in cheek aren't you?
Funnily enough we didn't have caning or anything like it as I grew up, at school or at home, but still I managed to follow the rules etc. My parents instilled in me the rights and wrongs of life without the need for violence.

This is total BS! Caning instills fear not discipline, that should be obvious.If I got 50% correct in one test, I received 2 strokes of the cane. This helped to motivate me to do better the next time. Of course I would do it for myself, but it also became a challenge to make sure I gave no reason for anybody to punish me.
Sorry plavt, but you are correct, it is the fear instilled, that disciplines.....it may all appear barbaric to many, but in general it works....and the proof is in the pudding.Plavt wrote:Petales Soufflez! wrote: I will always remember the respect that she has instilled in us for discipline.This is total BS!

Good That's short and sweet. Don't read them if you cannot sleep at night That's from an experienced mother by the way, who is disturbed of the thought of her child growing up. take deep breaths dear the shock will rescind, your in a virtual world just now, try pulling the plug out.road.not.taken wrote:Hitting children is wrong.

KSL, maybe people are 'reeling back' at your cavalier and callous attitude? I know I am. Hilarity aside, your rants are often verbose and sometimes disturbing.
Good Lord, what are you on about now? Honestly KSL, I'm against the physical punishment of children. You're the one getting testy. You opened up the can of worms, so why run-on with gender bias and misconceptions when someone disagrees?ksl wrote:Good That's short and sweet.

It's really amazing how people can judge others without actually knowing them, maybe pop a pill to slow the brain down, if your imagination is running away with you. The fear of discipline can have this effect on people.
I just asked my wife if she thought i had a callous attitude, she say's no, I'm just a raving lunatic, I can accept that better, than being callous. I'm quite amazed at women, that have to have the last say, even though they are not interested and even bored, with the verbose long winded replies, they just can't help themselves.
That really is rubbish ksl! Fear does not instill discipline, it merely serves to stifle a child's personality. I agree with road.not.taken; hitting a child achieves nothing. Canes, slippers or whatever are 'weapons' and a sign of gross weakness on the part of the parents who use them, but maybe they shouldn't have had children to start with. The abolition of the cane has little to do with it, that is more likely the inferior nature of today's parents along with the governments perpetual meddling with the economy. I don't know what you are getting at when you quote 'beasting' in the army but I would like to remind you three soldiers died as a result. You also seem to have forgotten about Curtlees reform school in which teachers were prosecuted for physical damage inflicted on children. Now before you say those kids were little s***** who deserved it, consider what sort of backgrounds they may or may not have come from.ksl wrote: Sorry plavt, but you are correct, it is the fear instilled, that disciplines.....it may all appear barbaric to many, but in general it works....and the proof is in the pudding.
