My parents just punished me because I was always failing math. 6th-11th grade I spent my days folding everyone's laundry as punishment. Same with no internet for over an hour a day.
It was a trap tbqh

That is just conditioned behavior, it is not moral values. A dog you train not to attack people is no more moral than a dog that's been trained to fight.

It wouldn't inherently be bad, it's just that the irony of the meme it's associated with is that it's a system designed for children being used on a grown adult.

All I know is that it would incline their behavior according to contingency. Maybe it would prevent them from learning on their own accord if they were raised like that from the beginning.
