I was raised in a socialist country in Asia. I still got ruler spanked by my teachers until age 15. My 1st year kindergarten teacher hit me with a thick wooden ruler for talking to a friend after class. Corporal punishment is crucial in Asian's culture and it's permitted for teachers to use it on kids. At least during the 90s and early 2000s. I used to have PTSD about getting a B+ on the test, because the teacher (5th grade) would hit me 3 strokes (A-, A, A+) for not getting the full mark. She's a crazy b**** and I still remember her name to this day.

Would I spank my kids if they misbehave? Hell yes. I do not condone beating children black and blue. But a little ass spank when they seriously misbehave after multiple lenient talks is not inappropriate.

Or I can just send them back to Asia for a few years and let the system straightens them out lol
