the suggestion that any child in any school where corporal punishment is available lives in constant fear of such punishment makes just about as much sense as the suggestion that any person in any place where imprisonment is available, lives in constant fear of being imprisoned, or that any person who lives in any place where capital punishment is available, lives in constant fear of facing execution. It’s a nonsense – the mere existence of a particular form of punishment doesn’t mean a person has any reason to live in constant fear of it, if they don’t deserve it – not in a well run environment. Not when things are fair.
