The part in the first video where he talks about how a father should encourage his son-in-law to beat his wife if she does anything remotely wrong... that surprised me because I knew some Kuwaitis who thought the same way, and it reminded me of them. Only it wasn't about their married daughters, it was their 5 year old children. It was commonplace for parents to tell me I should beat their child if he/she misbehaves in class.
The first time I heard it I was shocked and I responded with "I do not hit my students," but he insisted over and over, each time I was saying the same thing. After that when other parents would give me permission to beat their children I just kept repeating, I don't hit my students. They would usually smile and say something like, 'I know, but you can still beat him, he is difficult." I would have to assure them the child would be disciplined to get them to stop, and even then they still would be like, ok yeah discipline, but if you hit him I won't mind.
Wtf?? They care this much about their 5 year old children, of course they won't care if their daughter's husband beats her.
Yeah, my parents are the same. Infact all moroccan parents of their generation would be the same on allowing a teacher to beat their children, because in morocco they beat you in school. The imam was able to beat us at the evening and weekend arabic school I used to go to in the UK too, and all the moroccan kids knew it wasn't something we told our parents about, because it was with parental permission.
Even in the UK, it's not an old concept to use physical punishments in a school, roll the clock back 50/60yrs ago and you know teachers had a right to whack a child.
Insane, I would go schizo on anyone who touched my children.
