Wu Li-fen rejects the notion that the few cases that come to light are simply isolated incidents. "Each individual case has features of a more general nature that need to be examined. Although relatively few corporal punishment incidents end up in court, children are in fact being struck by teachers every single day."
吳麗芬卻不同意曝光的事件只是個案的說法，「每個個案都有其普遍性，都有值得討論的地方，因體罰被判刑的案例不多，可是每天都有小孩被打。」
