I don't think this will work in Thailand. We have a culture that is far more complicated in family structure and emotionally.
More problem just pop up like never before like group sex, drugs addict become more common.
The children have no respect for adults. Don't follow too much American system they have a problem of their own with their system and we have a system that been use since our ancestor and people in our country are much nicer than American. If Thai school still have stick or not, it is still the same. Yeah I agree that sometimes stick can change people, but it's up to one person's mind that they change a lot or not. I accepted that some students were doing really bad, but what about the students who were doing not bad enough to be punish.
