quote:SK - You made MY argument for me: you state you were BEATEN. Proper corporal punishment DOES NOT entail 'beatings'.
At exactly what point does a spanking become a beating?
Teachers like you (I presume) used a large wooden board to "spank" the kids. If that were done outside of a classroom, most would consider it a beating but I'm open minded about it.
So define the difference between a spanking and beating, please?
