People are different. Some kids will naturaly obey their parents and teachers, others will need a system of rewards and punishments. As I said in my original post here, caning should only be used as a very last resort (before expulsion/borstal) and then only to punish dangerous behaviour or perhaps gross property damage.
I am not a member of the the 'flog em' brigade. It's just that you need a last resort otherwise you get the situation (that we have) where the pupil has been expelled from all schools that will take him and a life of uneducated, crime ridden, dole claiming is all that he can look foreward to.
