棒下出孝儿
I came across this Chinese saying while watching a period drama. It means that if you use the cane, you will produce filial sons. Do you agree with this? I guess most of you do not.
Nevertheless I think there are parents in China who not only believe in this but they carry it out too.
Perhaps some of you believe there is some truth in this proverb: Spare the rod and spoil the child.
My view is that it is more important to be strict and firm with your children and not let them climb over your head. If you are a teacher, that applies to your pupils too.
Pupils, including the trouble makers, respect teachers who are strict and not teachers who try to be popular.
