I Got The Cane At School

Yesterday many schoolchildren in the UK went “on strike” in order to protest about lack of action against climate change. There were interesting mixed reactions. The Prime Minister criticised the children. Some other politicians congratulated them. Some schools enouraged them, and some teachers went too. Other schools said the children would be punished on Monday. Three children were arrested for obstructing the traffic.

In the unlikely event that this had happened in my schooldays in the 1960s, there would have been mass canings. Nowadays the favoured punishment is apparently “internal exclusion”, which sounds rather Orwellian. Not entirely clear why this is preferable to, or less cruel than, corporal punishment.

Using children to achieve dubious political ends? Let's see...manipulative, cowardly, febrile, intimidating dishonest...did I leave anything out? Oh yes...Fascistic. It's the adults who enabled it to happen who should be caned...first!

@Abrienda I’m sorry you got such an offensive reaction toyour response to my post. I have reported the culprit, for what it’s worth.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@MartinII Its worth a lot actually.

This person stalks me from post to post...I was engaged in a civil discourse here and then he comes out of nowhere and attacks me with profanity and tries to shut me up, excusing it because he has "a short tether" and gets ANOTHER WOMAN to help advance his agenda who has no idea he what he's doing. So much for feminism...anyway he quickly escalated it showing how unbalanced he is until finally I sent a PM telling him to prove his accusations or be reported...he replied by making them worse but with offering no proof to them so I reported him.

There is a certain kind of man here who simply cannot stand a woman expressing herself intelligently in a way they disagree with. What was (not) remarkable is he had the help of another female member to do it, someone else I do not know but who was blindly happy to advance his sexist agenda.

To repeat I don't know this person have no idea what his problem is other than he can only argue in profanities and hates intelligent women (and assumes, SexyCatFish, that if they ARE intelligent they must not be women).

But as I said your apology for this creep's behaviour means a lot to me and I really thank you for it...as do my 600 followers, I suppose!

I don’t understand the reactions to this post. Students chose to have a voice and make themselves heard. It’s something that should be embraced even if we don’t like it. As far as punishment? They had one day off to engage in something that was culturally significant. They probably learned more in that day then they would have learned at school.

@SW-User Why do I need to convince slime like YOU? Who are you to me...I don't even know you! BUT if you make such an accusation in public then look out cause you best have the cajones to back it up or you look like the twat you really are!

I have PMed you demanding you prove it and have reported you to Amin for harassment. Your accusation is a cheap way of covering the fact that I made you look like a fool though by things away from your own intellectual inadequacy which I am sure extends into other "parts" of your life as well.

Done with you and happy to let Admin handle it...are you?

@SW-User I have already challenged you on that...prove it! Your word certainly is not enough..on anything.

And repeating the accusation doesn't make it true. So PROVE it carbon, or STFU!

@SW-User That's all? Hahah! Oh God what a pathetic response. What a little slime you've shown you are as you now crawl back under your rock to hide. But there wasn't much else you could say, was there, loser?😏

You and I are from the same era. Don't you recall the Vietnam protests? I know that I was there in Sydney with a lot of other secondary students. No, it wasn't as a result of brainwashing, it was because enough of us could see the injustice in the war (that is not a criticism of the troops, they had little choice but to be there and deserve respect for their service).

I don't know about you, but at my school we treated caning as a bit of a joke. It had no impact on our behaviours and yes, we did have some teachers who were pretty damn good at it.
MartinII · 70-79, M
@Bushranger You will note that I didn’t express any opinion on the merits of the protest or the different reactions. My post is just an historical observation. But no, caning was no joke.

My one attempt at truancy was dealt with at home in a very old fashioned manner! Yet the rebellion of youth and challenging authority is a necessary process of growing up.

Perhaps the logical nature of your summary made him think twice? The Headmasters/Headmistressed in those days- like today, never had time to read detention essays anyway?! Lol@MartinII
MartinII · 70-79, M
@lancashirelady50 Yes, both those explanations are possible. Of course, it would have been easier all round if I had just been slippered in the first place.
lancashirelady50 · 70-79, F
Which is no doubt the easiest option! (The hours and hours I have spent using tbe “no blame approach” to conflict resolution in schools until I retired!!)

It would simply not have happened at that time . Children are preached at by many teachers , relentlessly , about the evils of fossil fuels and use of plastics My neighbours child refused a lift to school as the parents drove a diesel car .
A little more time in the classroom on the basics would not go amiss .

I'm glad the "beat some sense into them" era has gone. School should encourage critical thought, not turn out obedient little souls.
MartinII · 70-79, M
@DarkMoon An interesting thought in your second sentence. Personally I think schools should do both. That’s certainly what my school tried to do.

Well said, Martin. There are some strange ideas around nowadays. Like the promotion of veganism - by replacing meat with factory-made, chemically-enhanced, meat substitutes. And [i][b]that's[/b][/i] healthy and good for the environment?

Well put. One interesting variation was the mass protests for gun control in USA following high school massacres, which resulted in mass paddlings in some private and Southern public schools. This is the one case in recent history that I would be opposed to legitimate school corporal punishment, I suppose....

@IstillmissEPPersonally I would be furious if my child was used this way and would find a way to sue the school, principal or teacher responsible in court...THAT would put an end to it!

@IstillmissEP I would sue if my child was in any way compelled by peer pressure to join in and put on a busy street in the middle of the day without adequate supervision or protection when the stated PUR{OSE of the day was for them to be in school studying. So lets try reckless endangerment for starts?

It is an odd one.
It must have had some form of sanction.
From parents and education body.
Otherwise there might be teachers up for the sack on Monday and a lot of youngsters suspended for the same.

And internal exclusion is just a suspension but where they’re kept at school.
