has gloss | eng: Belting is the use of belts made of strong materials (usually leather) as a whip-like instrument for corporal punishment (see that article for generalities). It is most often associated with educational institutions where it has been used as disciplinary measure but it has also been applied domestically by parents. This practice has now been abolished by most schools, at least in the Western world, as it is seen by many as abusive and excessive punishment, though many parents, especially fathers, still belt their children. |
