Corporal Punishment

From Ruminations in Korea via The Marmot's (Final) Hole comes the shocking
Video Clip of Teacher Assaulting Student, originally published in Video Clip of Assault Gets Teacher Fired .

My wife tells me scenes like that were not uncommon in her all girls high school.

I'm not at all against corporal punishment, and contrary to the popular misconception held by many Koreans, it is still practiced in many US states.

The video above, however, clearly shows assault, not corporal punishment. The student was humiliated, if not injured, and the teacher absolutely humiliated himself.
