| Bring back corporal punishment - the kids will then respect teachers - with whom the have the most contact time during the day - and it will follow with them into later life and out of school hours
Dragged this out of the web.......
The cane was finally abolished in state schools in 1987 after a long campaign by pressure groups such as S.T.O.P.P. (The Society of Teachers Opposed to Physical Punishment). At that time a good number of schoolteachers wished to retain corporal punishment as an ultimate sanction, but it would be difficult to find a majority in favour now. There are occasional calls from MPs for the reintroduction of the cane, but this eventuality is about as likely as the re-establishment of the death penalty in Britain - although a preponderance of public opinion would undoubtedly be in favour of both measures
I'd say probably 75% of parents would like this returned as long as the punishment was justified and metered out with parental consent
Just my own personal opinion - but feel I ought to add that my 'better-halfs' car was 'keyed' last night - for what reason??? Little ****s.........
