I was hit with wooden 100cm ruler in middle school multiple times, it is painful for an hour or so but not emotionally damaging or anything, I'd be happy to meet that teacher today, I dropped out from high school eventually after I've been reducled and mocked at by a principal repeatedly as I didn't like to shave my facial hair, which I assume happen all the time and isn't as controversial. I kept dreaming of vandalizing his car for a decade but didn't want to get in trouble.

Surely there is some irony to claiming no emotional impact while you ruminate in dreams about revenge.

I got in terrible trouble in school and did act out but never in reaction to corporal punishment. As it so happens, if you’re a boy the challenge is to take it without showing any sign of its effect.

The revenge fantasies were for being bullied, not justly punished, and by different people. Not that I condone corporeal punishment.

An actual cane works more like a whip and can break skin and leave permanent scars.

They are not going to perform a prison style caning ffs...it's going to be a light but firm tap on the knuckles.

These things only hurt emotionally when done wrongfully.

You’ll be happy to meet him to do what? Hit him with a ruler multiple times?
