i would have no problem with corporal punishment being bought back,and i would have no problem with teachers administering it to my son ,there is far to much of "no-one touches my son/daughter but me " that is where it all started going wrong imo because of course there are to many parents who will not discipline their little darlings and will not allow the school to do it either .

School isn't just about education in the 3r's it's meant to teach discipline and respect for other people .I was caned and slippered at school and despite warnings from the likes of flyboy and his ilk i have not turned into a raving homocidal madman and nor have any of my old school mates ,however it would appear that some of those who weren't disciplined in this fashion have turned into disrespectfull good for nothing louts so somewhere i think there is a message in all that
