What you're saying there is
I don't think it's acceptable for a grown adult to repeatedly clobber a small child with a big stick, except if I personally feel it's justified and I'm afraid I cannot run with that.
All the cane does is show children that violence is the best way to get people to do as they say.
Would you accept an employer hitting staff with a big stick if they didn't perform well enough?
