In high school, one of the students in my shop class told a Polish joke.
The teacher was Polish, and was exactly what you would expect from a shop teacher. He heard the joke. Without saying a word, he walked over to the student, picked him up with one hand by his neck, looked at him steadily for a beat while dangling him in the air, and then put him back down and walked away.
Nothing more was said, then or after, and as far as I know the kid didn’t tell any more Polish jokes.
I assume this happened somewhere that is not Poland, but could you tell what country it was in? It definitely seems like an uncivilised manner to teach even if efficient
This was in the US back in the drinking from the hose water days. Probably if something like that happened today, it would be a big deal, yes.
I think for my opinion it is fine. He didn’t hurt the kid in any capacity, and maybe the lesson he taught him will stick with him later, in situations where the consequences aren’t so measured and forgiving. But that’s just my take on it.
It’s just that I find people who can impress much more admirable than those that can scare. But then again, maybe he didn’t scare but impressed that student, the times were different for sure
I don’t think we need to resort to racist jokes about Poles, do we?

Impolite boomers are just those which were not punished enough

But yeah, I totally agree with your point, and scaring the shit out of someone is absolutely not a substitute for moral lessons
