Do you have cites for this? My understanding has always been that whenever this is measured, physical punishment anticorrelates with academic success.

Doesn't even have to be physical, an insidious form of punishment can be for example locking someone in a closet for hours a week which is interpreted as "timeout".
And doesn't get counted as physical abuse. Then authority figures will go "doesn't sound like abuse to me, just ordinary discipline" and be left convinced nothing's wrong.
