Another related issue is who received an 'education'? Upper class male youths in the Confucian classics and all such, at the sôdang. Not female youths; not lower class youths.

<div>When students-- males-- at the Andong Agriculture and Forestry High School misbehaved during my time there, 1966-68, they were sent to the teachers room for punishment. Quite often they were told "Hold out your hands." They would do so, in front, palms
up. A teacher would then strike the palms of their hands with a stick, very hard. They'd flinch. "Hold out your hands!" "<i>Son nae!</i>" They'd do so, hesitatingly. "Hold them up!" and then again
<i>Whack!</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div>I guess I must have flinched and acted disturbed, because a teacher explained that this built strong citizens. And then he added, it was a practice the Japanese had brought.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking back, I think there was less of that corporal punishment as time went on.</div>

I am particularly interested in cultural conceptions of the role of corporal punishment on children (either during education or in the home), and other moments of violence and aggression against the body of the child. As I am a Geographer I am also interested
in the places, spaces and infrastructures in which violence against children might have or did take place. I thank anyone for any help or suggestions - I have gone through as much of the literature as I can and have not yet found what I am looking for from
any discipline. It could of course be as always that I am missing something enormous or looking in entirely the wrong place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
