Some time ago, there was a news that a girl in Guangzhou was physically punished and vomited blood, which aroused the anger of the whole network, but then the news was turned upside down. This series of events is a lie made up by the girl's mother. Although the final result of this incident was that the little girl was not injured, it caused the whole network to think about corporal punishment. Many rational people began to explore: What is the essential difference between punishment and corporal punishment in education?

To solve this problem, Bian Xiao thinks there are three differences:

First, the basis of punishment and corporal punishment is different. In the process of education, punishment is based on the school management system and class rules and regulations, which is a well-founded behavior; However, corporal punishment is an emotional behavior of educators, which is subjective, beyond the boundaries of the law and without any provisions.

Second, punishment and corporal punishment are different in nature. The purpose of punishment is to make people who do wrong realize their mistakes and help them regulate their behavior, thus improving their personal level. However, corporal punishment is different. Corporal punishment is the oppression and exploitation of the wrongdoer, which is harmful to the physical and mental health of the person who is corporal punishment. It is a personal attack in the cloak of civilization and should be completely banned.

Third, punishment and corporal punishment have different results. In education, punishment is not an end, but a means. It is through punishment that people who have done wrong can avoid the fate of repeating the same mistakes. For those who do wrong, punishment is of positive significance. However, corporal punishment is not like this. Corporal punishment is the catharsis of educators' personal emotions. In addition to increasing painful memories, it will not have any positive impact on corporal punishment, but may also lead to psychological damage and leave an indelible psychological shadow.

In fact, in addition to schools, parents should also pay special attention to family education. Corporal punishment is a backward, barbaric and inhuman way of education. In the process of the continuous development of the times, we must abandon these methods with obvious disadvantages in order to truly educate children.
