for every story of success you can find many more who were picked on and bullied by teachers via this barbaric method of teaching

Actually the same pupils getting caned in my school had as much to do with the inability to learn the rules.However as the canings all took place in public there was no danger of victimisation or of a beating as everyone could see all that took place. There was also no use of the cane on the buttocks..only on the hands.The lessons were learned by everyone else watching..the majority of which never got caned because they mostly stuck to the rules.
It was the throwing of blackboard rubbers across the room that constituted bullying.Luckily the teacher that did that was stopped when he actually broke a window.
However as I've said several times the cane has gone..we have to use different tactics to maintain discipline.Arguing about it is just an academic discussion and really a waste of time.It isn't coming back.
So Arthur move on.
