If that day never comes people like you who are against the cane and any form of corporal punishment will have to live with the fact that this country is in the gutter when it comes to children. You know it's getting bad when your local MacDoanlds now employs bouncers to keep the kids out.

i am not against parents using it to discipline their own children and would support their right too
but i will never support its use in school it is so open to abuse and would be abused no matter what rules were put in place for its use
schools should use their right to expel pupils but often they don't go down that route because they loose money by doing so
they often instead just exclude them often illegally and with out getting the other agencies involved that would help
so you end up with kids getting no help no schooling and just getting more uncontrollable

the parents in this case were given practical no help because the school decided not to record most of his absences

this points out that unofficial exclusions are illegal
its all very well saying its parents fault ( though it can be ) when the schools don't follow the rules properly and don't trigger the help out there for them and the parents
