Caning

On the radio this morning there was a discussion on whether or not caning should be re-introduced into schools because of the levels of ill-discipline and disruption among students. Some people advocated the use of the cane to improve a sense a discipline, some other rejected the idea. I know that I would not want to be a teacher these days. The abuse suffered by teachers from students is truly scary and it seems very difficult to make any headway with their education. I think it’s too late for the cane, though.
