There will never be corporal punishment,was just an excuse for weak adults who couldn't control kids that was back in the 80's I have two kids now and I teach them to share and have empathy for people,i could never imagine hitting my kids they just aren't capable of doing anything that bad.If you can't deal with your kids without hitting them you must be pretty pathetic,if you bring them up right and pay them enough attention and interest from when they're first born there's no way they will be wild as they get older.My mum and dad used to smack me quite regularly but for things that didn't warrant it,think parents from that era did it quite a lot but that was the way they were brought up laziness not taking enough interest in their own kids.Last time my dad did that was when I was 15 I told him if he ever touched me again i'd knock his phucking head off,see how he liked it.

WHY ?, because some get nurtured loved and listened to, and the rest have a plastic life, not the kids fault, BUT , they have the plastic genes .

I remember one thrashing I got from "the old dear" saying "I am only doing this because I love you, so you don't run riot like the ba5tards across the road".
Maternal love you can't beat it.
The best bit, she was 100%  correct.

What a stupid point sheppy

There are a lot of perverted teachers who would love nothing more than to whip a young schoolboy or girl, it would be a perk of their job,

second, today is very multi cultural, do you think people from all different walks of life would tolerate that - not only would their probably stab the teacher to death before they would allow themselves to face the shame and embarrassment of their mates taking the piss but their parents would probably come rushing round waving all sorts of religious texts about

Teachers would live in fear, gangs would find but where they live which in today's day and age is not exactly hard, and take revenge, maybe on their family too, set the house on fire etc. I could envisage kids ambushing teachers on the way home, beating the sh1t out of him and filming it, putting it on to youtube for all to see for the rest of his days - all sorts of repercussions,

A teacher at my school once grabbed someone by the back of the collar in the corridor after he was messing about, he swung around and smacked the teacher in the face, and he deserved it, you don't man handle hyperactive kids you're asking for it, fight fire with fire you;ll get burned.


Those that want to use the cane - it's a sign they have no control or they've lost control, they have no respect from the kids, you'll find the classes where there is less trouble in are the ones where the teacher commands the most respect from the way they hold themselves, from the way they treat the kids, using physical force to instil discipline is a massive sign of weakness on the teachers part,

Punishment will come in the form of long term prospects, the kids who refuse to learn and cause trouble will be the ones stuck in job centres their whole life blaming everyone else for their problems, that's the punishment.

Problem is, people that want to use a cane are driven by short termism and probably have anger issues themselves, not to mention being stuck in the past. it's 2013, they always has and always will be unruly kids for whatever reason, beating them is not going to change anything , it will make things worse not better

Teachers have to realise - you have to earn respect not ask for it. shouting and beating doesn't do that, it comes from good communication skills, you don;t treat every kid the same, you get to know their personality and learn how to handle each kid differently.

IMVHAHO.

most teachers dont deserve respect. none of mine did. all they did was tell us all how useless we were and how we would never achieve anything. most of em were utterly clueless about the real world. just sat in their poncey office judging kids who didn't even know who they were yet.

those who can, do. those who can't, teach.

Haha! Do you guys ever go to bed!!!

So it seems that most people aren't in favour of it, saying that it doesn't do any good or makes things worse etc.

I understand that compared to the pain some kids go through at home the cane would seem like being hit with polystyrene etc. but no system is perfect is it???

I think though that overall it would be a good thing. If it stops just 10% of kids from wagging it etc. it'd be worth it.


I'm looking forward to my next load of stick!

Of course he's simply taking the pee out of serious posters as usual.

I don't believe the cane will encourage more acts of violence. We've got Grand Theft Auto to do that!

It will help to control unruly kids.

sorry sheppy, next time I'll wait until you're awake, it's not fair otherwise

WALOFS some of you lot talk. I got caned on the arse at Grammar School, 6 of the very best, for going onto the school roof to get the ball back. It was only the headmaster (or deputy head) who dished out this punishment, the rest of the teachers all had their own unique ways of dealing with unruly boys (was an all boys school). I remember the headmaster's words before the first thrash nigh on sizzled my buttcheeks off.."This is going to hurt me far more than it's going to hurt you"...the jury is still out on that one.

It never did me any harm and I didn't dare go back on the roof again...I bore no malice towards the Head teacher and didn't harbour thoughts of slashing him or attacking him...it was part of school life, just take your punishment and move on. Unruly kids today are on a par with criminals, more rights than those who toe the line and behave. Cane the little b'stards is what I say.
