These two are contradictory. If a child is taught not to commit violence, they won't be able to become teachers who commit violence against children.
Presumably "commit violence" means "inflict harm in a non-socially-sanctioned manner", while "physically punish" means "inflict harm in a socially-sanctioned manner".
Cynicism is fun! :)
