Cable Forum - View Single Post - Should Corporal Punishment Be Brought Back ?

The day the cane was banned in school was the day discipline went out of the window.The amount of times the cane was actually used in the schools I attended was minute but discipline was good.

Now you can't even push a disruptive student out of a classroom without them threatening to get their particular adult up the school.The brightest and best student's education is being held hostage by these lazy and uncooperative louts.

If corporal punishment is not to be used then I think it is the parents who must face discipline if their children WON'T behave in class.A fine or two might work.Just like the ones when a parent doesn't stop their child truanting and are taken to court.

Incog.
