For my East Asian/Chinese brethren here
The dreaded bamboo duster... omg that hurt. Myself, my cousin and I saw the long end of many beatings with that among others. Leather belt, wooden spoon, hand. And even if one of us was innocent, we both still got it. We laugh our heads off now about it, and bug our parents still about it. They don't feel bad, and we turned out perfectly fine.
This is going to sound very 'Old man yelling at clouds' and I might be in the minority, but i think corporal punishment within reason is still acceptable. I'm not old by any stretch, but I see a alot of kids and even 'adults' in their 20s nowadays that should have gotten a good smacking a few times in their lives.
