@GODZ1LLA the issue was that was all he did, most of the time, it was way too far as well. corporal punishment needs to be the last resort. It becomes a problem when idiots use it as a first resort to punishment. The best kind of punishment is the one you only need to use once. That's because just the threat of it is a deterrent of bad behaviour. When it becomes the go to, kids become used to it and it looses its effect. That kind of punishment was never intended for parents or teachers to release their frustrations, but it was outlawed because that's what it essentially became. Parenting isn't just punishment. It's taking the time to teach the child WHY what he did was wrong. He punished his kid, but never parented him or raised him
