Our school days have many special memories, this is where all our grooming and discipline begins and takes shape. Some times I feel it is good that I was born in the time when the parents and teachers could be strict with their children and not face any issues. Else now a days little strictness from them and there is so much drama around it.
My school Principal was a retired military man and he was a man of very strict discipline. If he would find anything out of order with any student, he would not hesitate to punish us. His common punishment was to make us do sit ups or sometimes we would even get whacking with the scale on our palm, but teachers cannot do such things now, they cannot even think of doing it, else they will land in trouble. Not only teachers but even parents cannot. I never had any beatings from my teachers, but then I would see others getting beaten up, a hit with a scale on the palm was a common one. Now if the teacher tries to do that, he or she may probably land up behind bars. In a way I think some strict actions were good for bringing in discipline.
The over-sensitiveness in today's time may be good in a certain way but then at a large I feel it is not helping the child. Today's children are very vulnerable with their emotions and also their mental and emotional capabilities. They are over protected, they are not getting exposure to the real world, they are not getting experiences in their life which can make them tough mentally and emotionally. Which does not mean that every teacher or parent has to be tough on their children, but yes when needed they should be, because that will make the children prepared for the harsh realities of life when they grow up. When a child's mental and emotional health is not strengthened up it is possible that they will not be able to face the slightest of hardship as a grown up person, it will also impact their own relationships as their tolerance level will be less. For little matters their stress level will be high.
During my childhood I never knew what was stress or anxiety and when I look back, I do not even feel that there was any, because we were so carefree, if anything happened we had the ability to move on fast from there, and all of this was possible only because that kind of grooming was done, where it was a mix of both love and strictness. My 11 year old nephew who is currently come over to stay at my place, is quite a handful, but if I get strict with him, he feels offended, anyways I do not stop and I try to make him understand the importance of discipline and strictness in life, which is required some times. He is my funny boy, he says he understands and then laughs it out and goes back to his ways.
I see that nowadays children threaten their parents if they are strict with them. I find it very funny when a child control the parents and teachers, and then I feel thank god I was born in the right time :-)

Times have changed, I wish we can use the old disciplinary ways but it's not possible anymore because when you try it at school or someone's child, you will be in big trouble.
Right, there are too many boundaries set now, some are good and some can be going against the child's discipline.
Yes those days when children were disciplined for their wrong actions. Me too when i look back to those years and now I see so many wrongs on the freehand given to children of this days. Discipline is no more, well some of the then teachers caused it, there discipline turned into wickedness
A little strictness is required for the child else they start manipulating their own parents and teachers.
वो ज़माना गया जो शायद आदर्श ज़माना था। अब तो छोटे-छोटे बच्चे बड़े-बड़े हेवी शब्दों को ऐसे बोल देते हैं जैसे बिस्कुट खा रहे हों। अब जेनेरेशन सेंसिटिव होती जा रही है। बड़ा कठिन समय है बड़ों के लिए कि कैसे बच्चों को समझा जाये
You said it right, their tolerance level has become very less

Things have really changed in school, it was exactly the same, teachers in my school were strict, and it was at some point, when a student go out of school conduct, but the case is none these days. Children's are treated like egg in school, and even at home.
Truth be told, I like the way things are now, I could take from how I used to feel back then, the fear of getting beating in school was too much, so, I wouldn't want students to experience it. Regard.
Ahhaaa, I was the studious one so I never had anything more then a scolding, so probably it did not bother me much. True, the new ways also has it's own benefits
Yes. There are a lot of benefits.
