Should the cane/beating be reintroduced at school?

I think they are often right.

Now what do you think about people who sleep around?

But having some actual discipline of some description would ge a very long way. Nobody has said that kids should be beaten. one smack isnt giving a kid a beating is it

Poverty and unemployment - there's 2 contributors !!

you cannot compare the uk and the usa, they are 2 totally different situations with different value systems and beliefs etc,


they should threaten castration, that'd make me think twice before i did anything...

so just junior thats what 5-11 year olds?

Yep i agree beating a child of that age would certainly stop them from stealing cars when they're 15... IDIOT

Welcome back paul

Why do you imply that I sleep around Joe? You couldnt be further from the truth if you tried. I'm sure Hogg would be really pleased with that remark

At least people who sleep around get sex. When's the last time you got any?

Have you not heard of positive disciline.

Corporal punishment is good for preventing kids form forgetting homework etc. (not solving real problems) - where as a good teacher can get far better results by working with that child.

Having a decent level of discipline all through their life would go a long way to stopping some of them from being the way they are Joe. You know it would

and if you want to look at a society that has done a better job than the uk or usa, jus look at scandinavian countries, they have the lowest re-offend rate of all western countries...

take away someone's freedom, but leave them with their self respect and everything else and it works, this is now just a theory before any1 tells me tht it won't work, as it has worked for many years now...

Add teenage pregnancy to that list.....

What?!?!?!

We're talking about corporal punishment - hitting a child is hitting a child - America is a great example of where beating a child doesn't work... How would it be any different here?

Are our kids genetically programmed to react to pain in a more positive manner?

Teachers don't have the time to work with kids like that though. Parents have the time to discipline their kids properly. And it doesnt mean they have to be hit to learn right from wrong, they just need to get off their lazy arses and try. Most kids are badly behaved because nobody stops them from doing it and now teachers are powerless to do anything about it

Most likely related to really poor sex education. None in my experience at school.

lol that I'm not question I'm sure you got loads pre-hogg

lots lots lots more than me... but hey simple things for simple folk eh - if lots of sex pleases you good on - personally I have no desire to be a sleep around

And I didnt sleep around when I was at school Joe. And how the fuck would you know anything about my life before Hogg? Fuck off and stop making assumptions on something you know fuck all about Joe.

Go and take the piss outta Snack

i didnt say that everyone who wasnt hit becomes a criminal, you've read into what i've said too much. read what it says not what it implies.
it wouldnt solve his problems, it would've stopped them in the first place.
when ur a baby, and you draw on the walls with lipstick your mother shouts at you, yes? and for the most part you dont like being shouted at, so you dont dare do it again.

KIDS ARE MEANT TO MISBEHAVE.

Mischief is normal, children like to push the rules - they shouldn't beaten for doing this... your problem isn't with these kids - your problem is with the problem kids.

And in todays day and age we're at a place where we know these kids issues don't spring from a naughty nature, there are usually complex mental issues (for example a kid of been raped at young age)... Now tell me what will beating these children achieve? nothing.

So the kids who get beat are the ones who forget homework, etc. and I'm sorry but thats normal a kids shouldn't be beaten for it you fucking savage.

Joe only takes in the bits he wants to though so our points dont get through to him.

He couldnt not argue even if he agreed with us. Where would be the fun in that?
