Should the cane/beating be reintroduced at school?

theres no 1 answer that'd work for every child, or it would be getting done now...

diff methods work for diff people...

one sure way to make the country a better place is to stop the scallies breeding, cut off their balls...

problem solved

I was never ever in trouble at school Joe. You know fuck all about my life to make statements like that.

WHAT?!?!?!?

So if you cane a child from the age of 5 regardless of his mental problems he's going to be fine?

Have you actually done any reading up on this!??!?!?!?

When caning was legal the kids who suffered weren't the problem children, they were the weak idiots, the kids who messed up their spelling mistakes, etc. It certainly intimidated them - but if you think caning a problem child is going to reverse whatever is messing up his head your living on another fucking planet.

These are psychological problems which can't be solved with pummeling on a kid.

From the rumours you got about a bit....

Now that may be acceptable in consett but I wouldn't want my daughter doing that.

I'm not talking about the way it was in the past am I?

Fair enough some kids who have behavioural problems really do have something wrong with them. But the majority don't Joe, the majority are like that cos their parents are too lazy to give a shit about what their kids are doing. I've seen it first hand, and just changing a kids discipline a little bit and a fear of someone thats looking after them makes a huge difference to how they behave

Society is more violent today & less respectful than it was when the cane ruled the classroom, the kids run the classroom now. So any teacher caning a child would more than likely end being the victim of a stabbing or a another form of attack by the pupil they caned.

And what rumours are these then?
Thats bollocks and you know it

Its not like you to go for the cheap shot is it Joe? Just because i dont agree with King Joe I have to be insulted (very badly I may add).

You're not even talking about the same thing I was when I said I was never in trouble at school. Im talking about all of my young life, way back to when I was in infant school Joe. The way I was brought up stopped me wanting to do anything wrong cos I was scared of getting belted. And before you say it, that doesnt mean that I was scared of my parents cos they did it

And that sums it up Spence. It wouldn't be like it was now if they hadn't have changed it

Exactly, we've went to far to reverse things with a cane in the classroom. Kids need taught discipline in the home not school.

Unfortunately in todays society the problem kids are the one's having more kids. They need educated in that sense from a far earlier age.

Your so naive that your gibberish doesn't even warrant a response from me.

I suggest you broaden your horrizons and read something other than the daily mail.... Some of the numerous case studies that have highlighted how WRONG corporal punishment is.

LMAO! So now youyr saying we should beat inafant/primary school kids!!! At this age children need love, if they're not getting it at home the last thing they need is more shit at school!!! FUCKING HELL I PITY YOUR KIDS (although their hundreds of fathers will probably enjoy beating them, consett apethugs enjoy a good ruck )

And what?!?!? Its totally like me to take cheap shots - thats what I do

I said in majority of cases its because of the parents Joe. I never completely disagreed with you about problem kids

And there you go again presuming you know things about someone when really you know fuck all.

What do you think about people who think they're better than everyone else and jump to conlusions and presume things about people they know fuck all about?

I'd be interested to know your opinions on that Joe

lol there have always been problem children, there always will be problem children.

But beating them wont help.

Threatening????? If anyone is threatening you then defend yourself obviously !

The fact is a child does not need to be hit to learn right from wrong it needs to be loved and cherished! everyone got wrong as a kid and maybe got a slap on the wrist but what your talkin about here is the cane or even leather straps and belts and thats just plain wrong !

If a parent does a good job the kids will be fine hitting them wont help but the occasional scolding and clip on the ear isnt gonna do any harm !

Explain america then smart alec

Corporal punishment is legal there, America is a country that accepts violence as a means of aserting authority, you kill soemone they kill you, you have somehting they want they invade you, its a very macho pro-violent culture.

They have the highest murder rate in the civilised world, they have more problem children than most countries... for fucks sake they have 5 year olds shooting class mates!!!!

Violence solves nothing.

I think we should be addressing the problems and issues within our society that have lead to children believing it is acceptable to behave in this way.

I didnt say you should beat infact kids Joe. U read my posts and see what you want to see. Not whats written
