In Britain we may not have anything like India's brutality to women, thank goodness, but then I don't think India's teachers have to endure the same treatment as our teachers apparently do.
/// One of the most notorious attacks on a teacher happened at Westminster City School in 2004 when a teacher was raped by Dwayne Best, then a 15-year-old pupil, as she was marking books in a classroom. ///
/// In January last year, a boy of 10 was arrested over a vicious attack on two women teachers in Orpington which left one with a broken leg. ///
/// “I was quite scared, especially because of the kind of community I was working in. Outside school the knife culture was happening. We were worried about repercussions when you left the building. Kids used to say, ‘Wait until after school’ and ‘Watch what is going to happen’.” ///

I was smacked with a belt and the hand. Has it done me any harm? Yes. The only good it did I suppose was to make me decide never to strike my children. Five between us and neither OH nor I smacked them. Five lovely, respectful and productive children and the eight grandchildren are the same. Never a problem at school.
One reason I gave up work when I did was the reluctance to take any more physical and verbal abuse from junior school children. Were they smacked at home? You bet they were. Is it doing them any good? No.

/all I am suggesting is that you respect the diametrically opposed opinion. /
sqad, is that the opinion that hitting children to make them obey is respectable?
No, sorry.
Whilst I support the concept of respecting the rights of others to have a different opinion, that stops at the point where that opinion involves inflicting violence on children
Another related example, would be my unapologetic lack of respect for the paedophile opinion that having sex with children is ok

They do still get punished in schools. Just not violently. With my sons school if they misbehave they get sent to 'refocus', how long for depends on the behaviour. Refocus is a silent class room where they have to sit in cubicles so all they can see is the teacher. It's not a lesson, they just have to sit their in silence.
I'd rather get a slap than sit bored out of my skull all day (including breaks and lunch)

'In my day teachers could throw chalk, blackboard erasers, pens etc at children. Cane them, push them, offer to rearrange their face.
All of which would be considered wrong today.'
It might not have been very PC behaviour but it taught us to respect our elders though
Unlike todays youth who have little or no respect for their elders
