I'm sure they learn something, but whether they learn the right thing is the question.

I don't think humiliation is a good tool for raising kids. Many people do though.

I agree with you but it was almost commonplace when I was growing up, especially in school.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

I think it depends on the child. That's a big part of parenting, knowing what works in punishing, motivating and rewarding. There's really no one size fits all approach.

Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence.

This.

Certain personalities would not recover from public humiliation and you could end up doing more harm then good.



This is where I'm at with this. And since many kids "do not like to stand out", I wonder if it does more harm than good and if there are better methods.

The problem with that sort of punishment is it has the potential to be never ending. If any of the kid's schoolmates see him he'll never hear the end of it and it may well result in all sorts of negative things down the road.

I threatend to put a sign on one of my boys the next he pulled a particular stunt. He decided not to test it.

If he's stealing, than a moral code has not been developed and that is the ultimately the parent's fault, as these are taught.

Bad parenting.

I agree but I'm confident that a overwhelming majority of people learn a valuable life lesson and make the appropriate course correction.

Sometimes you can only teach after the mistake. Developing a moral code is only academic until there are real world examples to reward or punish.

Give your child a deep pit of shame to climb out from and when they are grown they will live without shame.
