guess it's the old style of teaching kids. I got beat up a lot too when I was a kid. My mom only use the "tung til" for beating. But we got threaten a few times by a claver. (Still remember the vivid scene of it in the hardwood floor.)
Personally, I think it did damage the relationship between parents and kids. There are other ways to discipline but when they were busy with work and tired after they got home... they didn't have the patient to explain and understand.

btw, I was too chicken to be rebellious neither...

most of the time, we girls got punished cos my bro wasn't happy with us or we had some argument/fight with him. He was the centre of universe and so he never got into trouble.
