Ask for correction on IELTS writing task 2 Education has always been an important question whether for parents and teachers. In my opinion, there are 2 ways to make a children understand what is right or wrong : « the stix and the carrot ». Either you punish him or you give him a reward. But what are the punishment which really work ? As a matter of fact , some punishment can really help the children to be aware of what he does. If he starts to say coarse and his parents demand him to stay in his room for a moment instead of playing outdoor with his friends, the children will realize that it’s not polite to do that. Nevertheless, if the children says something bad and his father gives him a slap or hurt him, perhaps he will understand, but this act can , at some point, have unexpected consequences. As far as I’m concerned, I strongly think that punishment which involve violence don’t work. Those kinds of punishment can subsequently traumatised the children who won’t grow up in a fair way. During a long time, teacher were allowed to hit their pupils but now it’s forbidden because we understood that it doesn’t help them, on the countrary. As a conclusion, even if sometime it’s difficultl to make a children conscious of what he does, punishment which require violence are not the solution. Some sanctions, or interdictions can be as efficient as a slap, even better.
