I don't agree with smacking at all and it doesn't teach children a good lesson does it, that violence is an ok way to solve problems and get what you want. The whole reasoning behind it is flawed imo and it doesn't work as if it did you'd never have to smack again but parents do.
When I did something really bad like hurt my sisters, I would get smacked and you can bet that I feared the punishment. I should point out that this happened maybe 3 times in my whole childhood.
It is over analysing to say that it teaches children that violence is an OK way to solve problems.
It's true that doing it all the time isn't going to get you anywhere but I would say I'm all the better for getting smacked when I deserved it.
