When I could not memorise my multiplication tables, when I was six, I was caned by my parents.
Growing up, I’ve also heard of some pretty wacky ways in which Asian parents have punished their kids and expected high academic performance.
However, nothing I’ve seen or heard compares to this cruel act.
Visceral And Humiliating Lesson.
In Shanghai, a dad took it to the next level.
His son had not been finishing his homework dutifully, and of course, like what any reasonable parent would do, he left him to beg at a railway station as punishment.
Dude what the hell…
I would assume that beyond the inhumane aspect of this punishment, it was probably to teach the boy how difficult it is to earn money in the adult world, so he should study hard.
