I don't think a kid needs to have constant physical beating, but if he or she does act up and do anything threatening to others, it can make them think twice about doing such things. Yes it can make them less likely to bring a weapon or even think about doing something that might well end with their bottom getting smacked to oblivion.
The problem is if you don't punish kids in a way that hurts, they end up escalating their violent horrible behaviors because they start to believe nothing bad will happen to them no matter what they do.

Kids who bring weapons to school are not deterred by a “bottom smack” lol

Your stupidity not withstanding, that's not at all what I was suggesting. Next time read the post before you make such an asshole of yourself.

If that’s not what you were suggesting, then perhaps don’t say that in the first place.
