* Averted, but at a terrible cost in the [[Literature/AesopsFables Aesop fable]] of "The Thief and His Mother." A boy steals a schoolbook and gives it to his mother. Instead of punishing him, she encourages him to do more stealing, which he does. As the boy grows up committing worse and worse crimes, he is finally arrested after murdering someone who witnessed his thievery. Sentenced to the gallows, his last wish is to whisper something into his weeping mother's ear. As soon as she gets close enough, he bites and tears her ear off. He then bitterly tells her, "If you had beaten me back when I first stole that schoolbook, I would not now be facing death by hanging!"

** In ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'', while Tezuka prefers to punish unruly members via assigning laps (or other forced physical effort methods, in the case of Oishi punishing Momo and Kaidoh when they were first years), Sanada from Rikkaidai resorts to slapping his teamates around. So far he has slapped Jackal, Marui, and Kirihara for different transgressions. Subverted four times later: Kirihara keeps Sanada from slapping Yanagi via blocking the blow with his racket and vowing to win, Sanada declines to slap him when he can't keep that vow because he couldn't have done anything more, Sanada actually asks his teammates to slap ''him'' for losing his own match[[note]]Which is what saves him from being an unlikable jerk; his teammates all know that as hard as he is on them, he's ten times harder on himself[[/note]] and in ''Shin Tenipuri'' Sanada tells Akutsu to slap him and gets punched to the floor instead.

* Not directly featured in the book Cryer's Cross, but excessive whipping at a (defunct at the time the book takes place) school is the entire reason people are disappearing. [[spoiler: It created the ghosts entombed in the desk, which are getting into the heads of the kids who sit there and making them bury themselves alive at the site of the school.]]
