So what is the answer? Bad parenting has been around for as long as there have been parents - a lot of kids have been beaten at home. It didn't mean they behaved badly in schools.
I feel sorry for badly treated children, but not all of them disrupt other children's education. I'd like to see the disruptive helped, for their own sake's and everyone else's, but a solution does need to be found. Maintaining the status quo is not an option when the education of too many non-disruptive children is suffering along with all the knock-on effects.
Maggy J is right though, corporal punishment is finished in schools, and probably every where else before too much longer.
