Sorry, no. Evidence overwhelming supports that hitting children causes malfunction. Hitting has increased, not decreased. Hitting children is a barbaric practice that's orders of magnitude worse than hitting your wife.
Spare the rod, spoil the child is a metaphor for guidance and instruction, not violence. The shepherd doesn't beat the sheep with the rod, he uses it to guide the sheep. Complete misinterpretation of the bible.
