I agree bring back the cane, kid’s need it as current forms of punishment in schools aren't working.

My partner works in a school and they follow the rule of positive discipline system.

Whereby 2 comments can be given in a planner if this continues they are given a 3rd comment and removed from the room and put in a room usually with either pupils they do not know or for example if they are year 7-8-9 they are put in a room with 6th formers.

The idea of this is to make them feel small and not funny in a room with a more mature approach.

If this does not work then they are given a 4th comment and moved to isolation where they work all day in a cubicle inside a cabin and have different breaks and lunch times to all the other kids.

This can go on for up to a week depending on what the child has done.

To get an on call which is when they are removed it’s usually a deputy head or a behaviour support worker someone of authority.

However most kids never get (4th) comment (isolation) because it looks bad on the school figures and are usually given a dressing down from the deputy head or head teacher.

More than not it doesn’t work kids are abusive in her school I have seen it myself over the course of 3 years I have known my partner she has been attacked had her car set alight for punishing a pupil and the school didn’t do anything about it as it was outside of school premises. Had her car spray painted with grass written on it for going to the police about a pupil attacking her.

Had nails put in her tires, threatened outside of school hours e.g. holidays and after work by pupils.

Most deputy heads and behaviour support workers try to be the pupil’s friend it doesn’t work and they won’t suspend kids because they loose 10k of funding for every child out of school.

So this happens in most schools just we/the public don't get to see this.
