Funny thing is my generation were caned in school.The majority didn't become mindless child beating thugs in later life and actually turned out to be rather decent hard working people whom I still meet from time to time as I didn't actually move away from the town I was taught in.
Can't say much for the subsequent generations though who have among their number some very worrying attitudes towards others in their society.
Luckily they are still a minority as most parents try their best despite the best efforts of a few hand wringing social engineering types who can't forbear to intervene in other peoples private lives to force their viewpoints onto the majority. How I would like it if more people stopped taking it upon themselves to tell the rest of us how to conduct ourselves and actually minded their own business.
