Punitive teaching methods- How effective is this?

What is your view and opinions about teachers who adopt punitive teaching methods:-

Teachers who beat students who cannot get whatever they are learning right ?

Is it valid ? is it professional and ethical ?

When the teacher is questioned about this , they will usually say that the students nowadays do not like to be corrected or disciplined.

But what I am referring to here is not discipline problems, but simply when students are learning simple concepts - like mathematical tables, students who don't get the correct answers will be caned. Another example is in learning languages like English- Students who cannot spell correctly or write properly punctuated sentences in some schools in certain parts of the world not only they get caned, but they are also expected to memorise their language - sometimes even memorise English Essays for exams! And some music teachers get angry all the time, hitting and berating their students when they don't practise the piano or when trying to teach a new concept - like pedalling will shout and scream continuously as though the students are donkeys who won't work unless you hit them , even though sometimes this is simply not the case!

Did you ever had a teacher like that? Did you hated him/her?

Is there something wrong with these so-called educators who are programmed to make the student's life miserable ? Do they do that because they hate their jobs?By hitting students they take the joy out of learning , and that's how school homework is not fun anymore, it becomes a chore.Is this what we are expected to learn in school anyway?

think that they hit students because they do not know of any other better teaching methods to impart knowledge to students or they simply hate their students.

What do you think?

  1. An "educator" who mistreats a student, either physically or emotionally, is only teaching that student two things: the subject matter is frightening, and the instructor is cruel.  Anxiety about learning comes from being trained to be anxious.  I'm all in favor of drill work and setting high standards, but a "teacher" who is incapable of understanding how the student feels is definitely in the wrong profession.
