Should The Cane Be Brought Back Into Schools?
October 3, 2008
In the news today a report has been made that one in five teachers would want to see the cane back in schools as punishment.
It is the deterioration in the behaviour of pupils that has pushed teachers in favour of such punishments. The survey took a poll of 6,162 teachers and found that 22% of teachers in secondary schools were for corporal punishment being brought back in extreme cases.
Overall over a fifth of teachers were in favour of the cane however, less heads and deputy heads felt that way with only 12% in favour.
Judith Cookson a supply teacher said;
“There are too many anger management people and their ilk who give children the idea that it is their right to flounce out of lessons for time out because they have problems with their temper. They should be caned instead.”
Ravi Kasinathan a primary school teacher said;
“There is justification, or an argument, for bringing back corporal punishment, if only as a deterrent. I believe some children just don’t respond to the current sanctions.”
I think we should definitely listen to teachers as they are the people involved with our children on a daily basis. With our current culture of broken homes and ASBO order children surely they are the best people to get a grip of our youth and they should be left to do their jobs the best way they can.

WTF?? Canes should NOT be brought back! There was a reason for it being illeagal in the firt place, parents wouldn’t want their child to be abused even if they were ASBO’s. Just face it! Cane’e WILL NEVER BE BROUGHT BACK - get over it! It’s CHILD ABUSE! Those who are “for” bringing canes back, they might as well be “for” child abuse.

Malia’s right! Bringing the cane back will send the wrong message to children. They would think that violence is acceptable! - WHEN IT ISN’T!! There would be an increased amount of street crime too, children would be depressed and hate school, which will cause them to miss days out - poor attendance/punctuality.
PARENTS WOULDN’T HATE IT! Teachers who are parents would be AGAINST IT! Canes are in the past - GET OVER IT. It’s 2009!
