Bring back the cane?

After a hiatus of 24 years, could fight back to school? Corporal punishment has been completely banned in British schools in 1987, but a study released today by the TES shows a fifth of children and almost half of parents believe that spanking should be reduced.

Therefore, we were too liberal? Ministers say there are no plans to reintroduce the cane, but beware, Gove and try to restore law and order broke Britain (search for stale reference to "the events of last month"). Jeevan As reports in the Vasagar Guardian today:

The survey, commissioned by the Times Educational Supplement (TES), reveals that most parents and students that teachers should have the power to be tough with unruly students.

Are you one? Students and parents aside, we would also like to know what teachers think. Please comment and vote in our survey.
