But then your daughter probably wouldn't do anything which would justify the use of corporal punishment presumably, and therefore you would understandably be angry if anyone hit her.

If people are in favour of corporal punishment for kids then that's one thing but if they're in favour of a cane/ruler/book or any other object/weapon then i really have to questions that person's supposed rational thinking.

I'm perfectly rational, but some children are never going to respond to rational arguments against bad behaviour. I can't see any alternative to the cane for them. I'm fed up with mine and other people's children's education being interrupted by the badly behaved.
Just today, one of my children told me that two year 9 children got dangerously drunk in the school's grounds, and had to be restrained by the police, with one getting a dislocated knee in the process. There are badly behaved children in
every one of his classes. And this is in a school described as 'outstanding' by Ofsted. What hope is there for the education of children in schools rated as 'inadequate'?
