As a teacher there simply isn’t enough money in the world to make me want to cane a child. So even if there was corporal punishment I’d never apply it nor send a child for it.

I honestly don't really have a issue with this viewpoint, but being in school when it was a thing (well the belt, not caning) and I only got it once the embarrassment of getting it far outstripped any momentary pain it caused.

Hell one of the lest likely teachers to actually give the belt in the high school (from what I heard of) I went to was a teacher that on the first day would sit a full bit of chalk on a desk (standing up ) and turn it to dust with one whack of the belt.

But I am not saying it needs to be brought back, just that it might be better if it was still a option.
