No; correct punishment also educates. That is the ultimate purpose of punishment, to educate the correct way to behave. You won't learn the correct way to behave until I teach you - at least, I cannot expect you to know anything I don't teach to you myself. Punishment shows the way forward while closing off the way backward.
Isn't that the same logic your parents and other people close to you have applied as well? What differentiates your punishment from theirs?
How are you punishing me exactly?
I feel better now that i know i can cause you pain by merely existing.
