본문내용

ol students had: not just corporal punishment but other stuff like short hair, no make-up, ear-rings, 등. They were very surprised. Here were a group of people who knew all about corporal punishment, but to them it seemed odd that students in high school were still being hit: that simply does not happen in India. Corporal punishment exists in India only in elementary school. The reasons are obvious: no child really understands why something is right and wrong, but they do understand punishments and rewards. A high school student is expected to, and does understand basic morality: if they mess up in class they'll know without a caning to show them.
One of the things that struck me about Korean students is how "childish" they are. They seemed to take so much joy in things that I would take for granted. Little things like playing a game were the ultimate fun for them, whereas in Canada students would slag it off as boring. When I was in Korea I thought this was great: it was refreshing to be around students who weren't "too cool for school." But after being in India I started to wonder, maybe the juvenile forms of punishment kept the students juvenile or "immature" themselves. The educational culture, particularly in high school is very regimented and controlled. So much is out of their (the students) hands. Maybe it's no wonder corporal punishment is more common: they've never really had the opportunity to learn these lessons. Everything has just been a series of rewards and punishments.
I realize that sounds very condescending. There are many bright Koreans who could go toe-to-toe with anybody in terms of smarts, wit, and the like. There are many thoughtful and intelligent people that I myself have had the pleasure of meeting. But as an educational ethos is that what's being nurtured? In other words, are the smart, witty and outside-the-box thinkers the exception or the rule?
I realize they are probably the exception in every society but I don't think they are as stifled in other education systems. To sum it up, I guess I would say that I'm not against corporal punishment. However it's use must be very minimal and probably restricted to younger grades. Moreover, there needs to be sound classroom management techniques developed by the teachers to replace corporal punishment: this "transition time" is probably the most difficult.
Finally, the failure of any new techniques brought in should be weighed against a comparable educational model. The Korean model of "school-homing" seems to make corporal punishment more widely used than it needs to be. If other techniques of discipline fail, as they might, especially in the early-going, the omnipresence of school in the lives of students needs to be taken into account. If discipline came from other sources we wouldn't even be hearing about these cases of abuse. Families and perhaps even law enforcement need to shoulder their load of responsibility rather than dumping it on schools. Okay, I'll stop there.
