Whenever I read or hear about news regarding school corporal punishment, they always remind of my past experiences. I was a student of Kuen Cheng Elementary School (2). From my memory, corporal punishment was widely used by most teachers there. I especially remember a teacher named Miss Yip Sau Kam. She never listened to excuses. I always thought that she used physical punishment to relieve her own anger. She always yelled at students, looked at them with hateful looks, and used to beat students with a cane or ruler, as if she was an army training commander officer. I was disturbed by that psychologically. There are varies reasons of poor academic performance, other than heartless learning, reasons can include dyslexia, learning disabilities, poor focusing, processing or attention skills, or even family issues and etc. Teachers should have assisted or introduced their students with different learning styles or skills instead of using canes as a tool. She was once my classroom teacher. On that particular test, many of the students were being hit many times and left their palms or buttocks with bruises. With some male students who did poorly on the test, she hit them 20-30 times repeatedly on their palms or buttocks. It was really scary. We were just little children back then, less than 10 years of age, I don’t think we deserved that kind of abusive treatment. There are other ways that teachers can gain their students’ respect and keep their classrooms orderly. I think that when teachers genuinely care for their students, it shows in the way they teach and in the time they devote to their students. This kind of caring nature is bound to positively affect their students.
