I lost a privilege after a school suspension at 12 years old.

Along time ago my dad would not let me attend my brother's wedding after being suspended out of school.

@Joshua1989 suppose a bit harsh but it seemed too a fitting punishment as it must of bothered you as you still think about it now
@smiler2012 Punishment is supposed to educate a child, not traumatise them.

The fact that he's still thinking about it now could be because it was traumatic for him at the time.

What you're saying is absolutely false. Where the hell did you learn that BS? 😡

A learning environment is never an environment comprised of punishment of any kind. Punishment does not teach lessons; punishment ONLY serves as a consequence for doing something the wrong way, which means punishment never provides guidance as to what the right way of doing something actually is.

Your theory of punishment having a purpose to educate a child is nothing more than a self-serving ego trip at best, because punishing a child only serves YOUR ego in making you believe that you're a great educator, but it doesn't serve the child AT ALL.
