Of course hitting works. Depend on how you define.works.
As long as you are stronger it accomplishes the current goal.
You want to know if it will lead to better behavior in the future? If done properly yes. So say chazal. And the פסוק.

There is no trace in that posuk of the word or concept of chinuch, and it is your own concoction to put it there. I stated it earlier. Discipline produces compliance, not chinuch. It is incorrect and irresponsible to confuse them. That posuk was addressing compliance, and that was the dire need at that moment.
Sorry. Not exactly
We are killing the mom compliant one here
We are WAITING TILL YOM TOV to do it so EVERYONE ELSE WILL SEE AND BE SCARED AND NOT DO IT THEMSELVES!!!
Aka training the rest of the Jews not to do so.
That is chinuch. Training another to act properly.
So that the will hear / seed and be afraid and will no longer willfully transgress. How much clearer can the Torah get???? Instill in them fear so they will no longer do this improper act.
What exactly do you think it means????
