The problem these days with teachers is there are far to many of the 'softly softly' school of teaching, not enough of the old breed. I had a teacher in secondary school who'd manage to build such a reputation that no one would cross her and that was 10 years ago. So no cane or other physical punishment, simply the right personality and the right attitude that just commanded respect.

So true. I also believe you can discipline your children without smacking also with things like sports. Boxing for instance was what my dad got me into and you get a lot of discipline there plus you get fitness and health conscious so you don't want to start smoking etc like what my friends were doing at the time.

I slapped my son for punching his mother, it wasn't a playful tap from him, which he still does to provoke a chase or some play fighting - she had knelt down when getting him out of the bath, he didn't want to get out of the bath, so landed a big hay-maker square on her nose.
I will admit that having to do so, hurt me more than it hurt either of my kids.
I did once intervene where an adult male was beating his young daughter in Manchester, to the extent that she was trying to pull away from him, while he restrained her by her arm and continued to beat her with the side of a a closed fist. It shocked and saddened me how many people put their heads down and walked on by.

My daughter, when very young and in a pushchair, had one of those red-faced scream the place down tantrums in a shop in a busy shopping centre.
Our discipline went as far as to ignore the tantrum.
I wheeled her outside so my wife could carry on shopping, and I just stood there ignoring my child.
A 'lady' walked up to me and told me how disgusted she was at the way I was treating my screaming child, that I wasn't comforting her etc.
I was, according to her, a disgrace to parents the world over.
Sometimes, you just can't win.

All children & all parents are different, a mild slap as a shock tactic can work, but only if the parent is totaly in control & not in a rege. My wife will occasionally use this tactic to great effect but I refuse, not because I disagree with it but I'm not sure how hard is acceptable & I'd feel so guilty about doing it.

This ^
A much bigger punishment IMO, children hate being ignored
Exactly what I did - and they soon learn
