I had the cane whilst at school in the 70's, being caught with cigarettes was deemed to warrant six strokes on the backside, and it did absolutely nothing to deter bad behavior so much so that boys would opt for four of the cane instead of a Saturday morning detention, which was far worse in our eyes.
All corporal punishment does is desensitize a child to violence, if a teacher has to resort to beating a child nobody wins, corporal punishment belongs well in the past.
