I believe that a little tap on the ass when warranted isn't a bad thing. I also remember in grade 1, that a kid got the strap, from the Vice Principle. Just knowing that option was available to them was enough to keep most kids on their best behavior. Not too long after that though, they banned corporal punishment. That was in the 80's.
I think that a sting on the behind goes away pretty quickly, but for those 15 mins, it makes you ponder what you did wrong.
The biggest issue with parents these days, is that they are far too busy to effectively parent and merely give in to their kids after the kids grind them down. Send them to their room, no problem, they have computers, gaming consoles, TV's.
