Maybe I Should Send My Kids to Chabad Schools, They Aren't Pinched Enough at Home.
Last week, our 14 year old sensitive and gentle son came into my car crying because a teacher pinched and humiliated him in front of an entire school of over 200 kids and staff . And his crime? For not standing up for ashrei at mincha quickly enough.

Method of the melamed was very simple: whip. Why whip? He explained this by logic, citing the example of a horse. "Why did the horse run? Because it's afraid. What a horse is afraid of? A whip.

And for the child to be always in fear, it is necessary to undo his pants, put him as it should, and pour a couple of dozen hot lashes: birch whipping - our food! "Long live the whip!" Long live the whip! "
So says Boyaz and picks up a whip, he takes it slowly, slowly, examining all sides, like a sacred esrog, then seriously, really gets to work, with echoes, shaking his head.
Miracles, and only miracles! Boyaz never cound lashes and is never wrong. Boyaz flogs and never is getting angry. Boyaz generally as a person is not angry, he gets angry only when the boy did not give a thrashing, tries to get out from his hands and with legs jerking. Then that's another thing. Then the eyes of the rabbi engorged with blood, and he smacks without accounts and without the usual refrain: "The boy must lie quietly when the rabbi of his smacks. A boy should behave, even when he was flogged ..."
