Punishment - Reflection Week 4
On Wednesday, I talked with my American friend about punishment. It seems similar to my country that parents can punish their child but not much. There are some laws to protect the child. In Thailand also have this kind of law, but we do not often use this law. In my opinion, it’s because of Thai culture that we always respect adult, especially parents, and they are right. We have to listen to them because they have more experiences than us. And I found that teachers can’t punish students or make them ashamed. Teachers can do just only tell their parents or something else but not hit or hurt student. In Thailand, I think now, The gov. try to protect students by making some law, but I havn’t heard this news often. I think teacher still hit student, but just to correct them.
My friend agrees that parents or teachers can’t hit or spank children. He said, they should only tell children what should children do. It’s enough.
