Non-corporal elite pedagogy yields commensurately substantial intellectual output.

Evidence

What I am arguing is narrower. Among the educated elite — the population that produced Burzōē, the page-boy of Khusraw, the Sasanian-trained scholars who fed the Bayt al-Hikma — the pedagogical framework was substantively non-corporal, and the intellectual product was correspondingly substantial. This is one specific data point in the season’s larger comparative argument. Cultures that practiced patient, restrained, formation-oriented pedagogy with their educated elites produced intellectual products commensurate with that pedagogical investment. Cultures that practiced harsh, corporal, fear-based pedagogy with their educated elites produced different products. The relationship is not deterministic, but it is real. — , The Rod and the Child, 1776
