There's a big difference between a swat on the ass and a total humiliating beat down.

I'm sure perception isn't skewed as we transition from teens to young adults to eventually grumpy old ****ers who think everyone else is the problem.

Undoubtedly true, but doesn’t mean either actually work to raise healthy hard working young adults.

A swat on the butt is a positive attention getter. I'm not talking a punishment spanking. I don't believe in that and I think they cause resentment. A good swat on the butt let's them know that you want their full attention.

It's absolutely true that every generation thinks "kids these days" are off the rails and the future is bleak. It's almost a stage of life.
It's also absolutely true that at different points in plenty of societies throughout history now gone or warped, the oldtimers were right.
Neither fact tells you what's true now.

Fair enough.
Seems very subjective for whatever side one wants to proclaim their allegiance. Subjective studies lacking objectivity - again, from both sides of the debate. It's akin to political FOX vs Political MSNBC for people's favorite flavored Kool Aid.
IMO, this is the nature of the human race. Over a broad time frame, human psyche (d)evolves.
My church grade school was able to paddle us a max five times a day. The principle had a paddle with holes drilled with a humored aerodynamic oak body.
Front of class, hold ankles and look forward.
Hey, teacher! Leave us kids alone!

In my teens I would have gone back and burned it to the ground. But I am more chill now.

Yeah, I remember those. And then refusing to wince or shed a tear even though it hurt like hell.

My kids were raised in a one room school house. The teacher became physical with my then 10 year old daughter. Her 13 year old older brother stuck up for her. When they came home that day I went down and explained to the teacher that it wouldn't happen again. He agreed.

Seems like we’ve replaced corporal punishment in schools with the teachers having sex with the kids.

That would have been a career ender for the teacher.

Actually pretty high likelihood there was both in the “good old days”.

Several Catholic Diocese are filing bankruptcy. They created a safe haven for pedophiles . Now they are paying the price. It also created a safe haven for men and women to associate with others of their sexual orientation. I had a couple of gay male teachers. No matter to me, they were good teachers, but it was a weird environment.
