wow, what a bunch of pussies. i got the strap a bunch of times in elementary school, kicked in the ass hard and in junior high a crazy old coot History teacher picked up my desk with me in it and turned it upside down and dropped me. not like in any of those situations I was in any physical danger tho i supposed I could have hit my head on the last one.
i don't think it helps but i don't see the harm in it - if a kid is being bad then he deserves a physical reminder from an adult. my mom would wail on me with a wooden spoon or whatever else she picked up - what else was she going to do, tackle me and start throwing punches? if she said 'TIME OUT! GO TO YOUR ROOM AND DON'T COME OUT UNTIL DINNER!' - haha, not a chance i'm going anywhere. So she whacked me. Not once did I feel abused or have I looked back and felt I was abused. I never had bruises or welts from anything.
