Like to hear from members on how you were punished at school.
We were hit over the knuckles with a board rubber .

My teacher used to throw bits of chalk at us for nit paying attention.

After the whopping's we may have gotten as kids, I for one can honestly say I probably needed it on occasion and in the end no real harm was done. It was all a part of discipline but too many do-gooders would say, "Oh no. You can't lift a hand against a child".
From what I have seen over the years, a lot of the do-gooders have had more troublesome children than those that gave a spanking now and again. Discipline in moderation is the key.
I never had to raise a hand on my kids. I had them bluffed. After all, as an adult, you have a lot more knowledge and wisdom than any child.

I'll never forget my old man and the razor strop, by Christ it bloody hurt.

Dennis R's Morning Joke. Do these stairs take you to the third floor? No, I am afraid you will have to walk.

Obviouslly a fixed staircase then and not an escalator?

For punishment one of my teaches was to make the culprit stand in a corner with the waste paper basket over his head.

Dear member Dennis, thankyou for your post. I think a lot of the teachers back in those days, had serious mental health issues. Second, I believe they also punished students in the same manner that they were punished, when they went to school. Wishing you a pleasant evening. God bless,

I remember mum and dad always quarreling which did not always end up very good. I think it's the fear that set into my blood hearing dad yell at mum that made me cautious to never do anything that would upset him. Basically it affected my confidence, my freedom of speech and broke my spirit to do what made me happy. I use to say to myself as a child, one day I will grow up and speak my mind without fear. Well, hear I am with my own family and children. I do not believe in physical punishment, as hitting a child could cause injury, and it creates anger and bitterness towards the parent. Physical pain creates fear and we should not have to feel fear to learn things in life. I always believed in communicating with my children taking time to explain what they did was wrong, and the reason why is is not acceptable to behave like that. My daughters have grown up and are both doing a Bachelor in Law with one already doing her work experience beside a solicitor in a Magistrates Court.

Have to admit, I was fearful of my father but it didn't stop me from being mischievous
