I mostly agree. I'm not a proponent of corporal punishment, but something happens when you take aware the fear or respect of getting your arse kicked.

My Dad never went crazy but I copped a few short belts in my time, and you know how I learned to stop getting a caning? I learned to stop being an arsehole. Easy fix!

the problem is though , is if a kid doesn’t respond to that in a positive way , you’ve just created sociopath , and sent them into the world with messed up ideas around love , discipline , tough love etc . You copped a couple belts , some of us copped some severe beatings .
the real issue isnt the belt or cane , or corporal punishment , it’s who you are when you’re not that person . If you as an adult show genuine care and warmth and it’s pure , when you do build connections it’s that that you can leverage to get what you want .
Most of the most messed up kids , have an intuition for this , they know when someone is fake , because they spend a lot of their lives having to navigate flight or fight because of whatever’s going on at home . So if you’re there , and genuine,t don’t care , or worse the kid doesn’t trust you , so now they’re in fight or flight .. good luck .

Just to confirm;

Not a single source, mainstream other otherwise, has indicated Jordan is on the outer at the club.

His name has never been mentioned, or even alluded too, once.

Rothfield stated 'a junior' is on the outer at 'a club' and because the club forgot to mention his selection for Fiji, people have spent a week discussing his likely/possible departure.

Relax.

I think a few of us want that spot to be made available.

I had a response in my mind but this is a Jordan Miller thread, I don't want to derail it any more.

Unsurprised to find out that @Suzie-Q is a teacher, as these days almost all that I have dealt with are salt of the earth types, going above and beyond to assist their pupils, including our student son.

I probably copped the cane at least as much, if not more than anyone else on here as a youngster, with the first "six of the best" coming a few weeks after beginning primary school for touching the traffic light from an old double decker bus near Ryde shopping centre on the way to the swimming carnival. The prick did it in front of his whole classroom of older 4th class students, some who cried along with me.

Such continued for mostly similarly innocuous reasons, including a long period when I suffered from migraines up until I had not long turned 14. By then I had had enough, telling the principal that I would take the cane off him or his short 5 foot odd deputy (who was very accurate at stinging the tips of the 3 long fingers and utilised a platform when caning us taller students so he could hit at the optimum power swing point) the next time they tried to do so again. It was abuse, nothing less and thankfully my father also told him 'no more' at the subsequent meeting.

We get 10 sick days PA. 7 hour work day, and salaried, not wages. 4 weeks AL. Mandated leave.
Teaching is not what it was even 20 years ago, and is certainly not a respected profession.
I've just had 6 months off caring for my husband, but had initially planned to take 10 weeks LSL, to try and get my mental health sorted, but, nope. I'm back at work, feeling physically ill, knowing the classes I have today and the level of violence and abuse I'll have to cop, from the kids, let alone the parents! And I teach in a good, rural school.

Isn't it amazing how there have been players over the years that have been reasonably good players, but somehow when facing the Wests Tigers became absolute super stars and match winners.

Probably says more about us than them.
