Again with the my mates were fine, everyone else must have been fine as well argument. People even had different reactions to the army and the border wars, it is fking well documented. Denial isn't just a river. Links provided is based on studies that show that corporal punishment had a negative effect and sometimes the opposite effect. The end of the cane was never the answer was a short term solution. Have you considered, different personalities, different upbringings, different set of conditions. Is your testosterone driven masculinity blinding you that much.
Corporal punishment is not the answer.
In some Asian countries, they don't use it but the kids are pretty well behaved. They have their own issues but quite frankly respect to elders and politeness is on point compared to SA and the Western world where quite frankly, the behaviour of kids is out of control.
It's not rare for kids to insult teachers nowadays and I've even heard of cases where they physically attack teachers.
