Ironic that they claim all of their decisions are backed by data, but still employ corporal punishment. That's something that had been quite definitively demonstrated to be far less effective than other measures.

Because they like the idea of supporting data but not the reality

Thank you! I was literally just thinking that.

I also can't let go of how they say every decision is backed "by data." But then what is their data source for using corporal punishment? "I saw lions and tigers use it."

So they think "anecdotes" are the same as "data"? AND that wild predator behaviors are suitable role models for human behaviors? Oh. Oh dear. Oh no.

I wonder if they're aware that male lions will kill the leader of a pride to take his place, and then kill the cubs of that male in order to force the lionesses into estrus? Would they support the same behavior in people? Or is it only the corporal punishment parts?
