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

I got the cane and slipper at my school several times, all with the flimsiest of excuses such as not hearing the whistle for the end of playtime. When I got too big for even the bigger teachers to punish this way and they talked to me, they got a better response from me. Will re-introduction help the current knife attacks etc., is debatable and maybe it is too late.

I got the cane and slipper loads of times, it did nothing to improve my behaviour. In general, children today, now school CP has been abolished, are better behaved and more respectful than my contemporaries and I ever were.

@smacked30D Part of the fun of misbehaving was the thrill of risking the slipper or cane. Without that risk, misbehaving would not have been as much fun so we wouldn't have bothered.

@smacked30D I think we all got away with a lot more than we ever got slippered or caned for.
