Corporal Punishment, a topic on debate in the nation

I am working in the Civil Service after 17 years of education in the school, college and institute.  Presently, when I lean back to the memory of my school days, it worries me to send my child to the school. Right after the whistle of morning wake up call for the jogging till last blow of whistle to put off the light in the night, it will be a “snake hiding” game for   students from the pounce of eagle teachers in the school. Even lying on the bed with deep sleep has to be maintained mindfulness of uncertainty kicks and sticks coming to you.  Those days we will change the direction of your way or almost go hiding below the road while seeing teacher coming on your way. 

Nonetheless, I tried reflecting more than it as a mere punishment. I concluded that it has immensely taught us of the traditional discipline apart from the subjects that are taught in the classroom in making realization of the human values.  If we complain about such situation to our parents back at home we will get with the response that you don't enjoy the result without adversary. One can just imagine how students are being systematically taught to be a strong. 

During those days, respects to parents, teachers, elders and compassion and love towards younger ones are being inculcate without being have to taught separately.  I see so much value in this that our forefathers have passed it to us. It is called as 'Tha Damtshe Lay Jumday'   If you do not live up to this expectation, people will make fun and say that kid is a product to judge the parent and students is to judge the teacher. Therefore, our parents will never support you even if you are right in a certain ways and being punished by teachers in the school. 

I can't deny that there is problems associated with corporal punishment when it is used excessively, but I am being quite surprise now students started suing teachers even for cupping their ears and for one or two sticks to correct their mistakes. We will have only a few students into drugs and those students will be also put into strict regimes for recovery. Thus, there were less people who were into drugs or other substances like alcoholism. At least students become human even if they are not good at studies. They will be able find their own ways to stand on their own feet. 

Now with the ban of corporal punishment I am eager to see if the society has  improved compared to the past.  Today, there are not only many reports and incidents of drug abusers, gang fight and drop out from the school which becomes more liability to the governments and parents.  Those days kids and students were considered more of investment to help parents and serve Tsa-Wa-Sum. Now is it becoming liability? or Are we bowing too deep for international pressure like human right policy?

Teacher profession has been trashed as students are more superior than them. Unlike in the past, teachers now started focusing mainly for teaching the subject matters and does not care what students are doing beyond the classroom.  In this ways I feel that students are deprived from becoming strong both emotionally and physically by excluding the corporal punishment in school thus resulting more harm to the society than helping to students in their life.

Though I am not that successful in my life, but I consider myself as a product of corporal punishment and still I will continue to prove myself  being product of  CP school in term of human even if not intellectually.

Corporate Lesson 1 A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?" "It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies. "Great!" the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. Corporate Lesson 2 A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest apologized; "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak." Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory." Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity. Corporate Lesson 3 A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish. ”Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof! She's gone. "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He's gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch." Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say. Corporate Lesson 4 A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up. Corporate Lesson 5 A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on my droppings?" replied the bull."They're acked with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a  fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he as spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey off the tree. Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
