“Sometimes corporal punishment is the most effective teaching tool.”
Just want to point out that hitting was never an effective teaching as in chinuch tool. It was an effective discipline tool. However education results in where the child understands what is right and wrong and why etc. Not when they don’t do something for fear of punishment. That’s not educating because the minute the scary teacher or punishment is gone, they’re happy to do it. And when it is overdone, they end up rebelling even if the beating stopped them temporarily
