I Think The Cane Should Be Bought Back Into The School System

I just found this article from 2011 while searching for the part when David Niven talks about getting 12 strokes in "The Moon's A Balloon"

I agree cp should be brought back in schools as a deterrent, but not as a substitute for discipline in the home which l think some parents seem to think it's up to the teacher to discipline when it's not. Education is their job. But they should be given authority to discipline when needed.
Look at today's classroom, a teacher has no authority whatsoever
