The call for the return of the cane in this thread appears to be based on the assumption the kids were the problem - but if the evidence shows the teacher just lost it, due to recent stress-related health problems, where does this leave the "
bring back the cane" premise?
btw, when I went to school in one of the roughest areas of Glasgow, the tawse (belt) was used - it never seemed to deter the tough nuts, who saw it as a badge of honour to be belted, showing they could take it.

But what do you think would have happened if you had clouted him on the head with a metal weight, and put him into intensive care, Arthur?
How can anybody justify putting someone in hospital for being cheeky?
