We had the strap at my school, and by and large it was fairly administered by most teachers.However a couple of teachers used to take the grievences against the world out on the pupils.On one occassion in winter a boy was made to walk round the school yard with snowballs in his hand then strapped. His hand bust open and he went to hospital.Now being a Catholic School in the West of Scotland ,nothing happened to the teacher. It is for this reason that I oppose corporal punishment.Whenever some Dysfunctional gets some authority over others, do they use this authirity wisely,to make things better. Do they fuck . It is all well and good talking about controls and balances on groups like teachers, but in truth when things go wrong , in most cases Peer Group pressure stops the parents making the issue of it ,that they should.
Sorry Ace have gone off at a tangent to your main question , but this subject really winds me up, I sufferred at the hands of these arseholes.

Re: The Cane
As most of you know, I was raised abroad and my school was where thick rich dads sent their thick rich kids, and corporal punishment was akin to leprosy, it was talked in hushed tones and IF you were unlucky to recieve a couple of strokes, it was recorded in a leather bound book. I made one page 11 times which WAS a record, usually for missing detention. Lets be honest, would you endure an hour after school on a friday writing latin texts OR 2 minutes of stinging on a monday morning? NO CONTEST!
Because of the influx of ex pat kids, a new school was built and my brother made it his duty to be the very first name in their book, which looking back, WAS the right thing to do.
Teachers tried to scare you on a monday by making you wait outside their office, hopefully to induce a psychological mental anguish, but I LOVED this as it meant missing 20+ minutes of Maths, which was our first lesson on monday.

Re: Ooooooof, nasty!!
Sorry to hear that Jonboy, I agree some sadistic teachers would take it out on kids.
My brother regularly took a stinging, but he always smiled smugly at the teacher who administered the cane on him, but in his last term there, the teacher actually caned him with the end of a fibre glass fishing rod, my brother DID feel that one and didn't smile I can assure you. He did go back when he was 18 and administered some 'justice' of his own to the teacher for that. It made the papers in Hong Kong (South China Morning Post)
Oh, the shame.......................

Re: Kes
The caning scene is a classic, I still laugh at the small lad who has to run an errand to the headmaster and is 'persuaded' to look after the ciggies and matches by the 'smokers' and is found out as a 'regular smoking factory' by the head as he turns out his pockets
Watch as he gets caned, those tears ARE real

Re: The Cane
Corporal Punishment wouldn't be necessary if we were even half serious about helping the trouble makers and not just sweeping them under the carpet.
Society....big on punishment.....woeful on rehabilitation
Instead of finding out the real cause of their disruptive behaviour we punish them which is usually the start of the downward spiral to Criminal behaviour
Another thing that is glaringly obvious
Boys and Girls learning side by side has never worked and never will
Maybe if the girls dressed in traditional Muslim
By all means have co-educational schools but keep the Sexes separate in the classroom
Amazing how males seem to learn better when there aren't any females to
impress
Last but not least
Class sizes....if its good enough for the well off schools to have small enough class sizes so nobody falls through the cracks then it should be mandatory for the entire system.1 teacher for about 15 kids per class is ideal IMHO not 30 to 40
cheers
