Blondie73 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 After recent news stories over kids getting out of hand in class ect would you send your kids to a school that used a cane?Did you live in the days when it was around?Do you think it will help restore the respect which so many kids/teens don't seem to have today?

MC Spyda Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I don't think they should bring back the cane, but parents should be given more rights to beat their kids at home if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoPro Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I got caned for humming two bars of "Let It Be", an old Beatles song. It hurt like hell and no one stuck up for me So, no. I do not want sadistic thugs anywhere near my children. I will kill you where you stand if you believe otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrknish Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 For some children it seems thats the only way to get through to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryedo40 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 There was no end of kids getting the cane at the school I attended. Week after week, you could almost guarantee which kids got the cane. Not once did it deter them from misbehaving or bullying; neither did it prevent them from disrespecting the teachers or damaging school property. IMO, caning doesn't work.

MC Spyda Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Although a total U-turn on my original point, if I were a teacher, I would like caning to be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladesman Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I think they should bring it back BUT its probably too late as the kid will end up bringing a knife to school to get even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were to bring it back, they would have to introduce it to the new starters to school. It would be no good introducing it to the year 11s after they have already gone through school without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
