sorry but thats just not the whole story IF we could be sure of exactly how and when it was used it possibly could be good BUT it was often used excessively and for no good reason
here it was used to hit children for daring to speak their own language ( welsh ) my dad can tell you of many injuries that needed attention from the use of the cane
i was i school in the last few years of its use and i often saw the same ones sent for it often because the teacher picked on them often and others who did do things wrong who still did things wrong
the cane would not solve the problems
getting teachers who make learning fun is the best way to improve things
as to this case from what i have read it may just be a case of a teacher who may have needed more recovery time and or more assistance whether wanted or not in his way back into the class room
hitting non consenting people of any age should never be condoned unless its in self defence or defence of others
