Well now students only get to kneel down for long hours. . . damaging their knees as it carries all their body weight

hmm , no

Ok, Or they can now only pick-pin . . . but that would cause blood to rush to their head, causing prolonged dizziness and possible long-term vertigo  

hmm , darnit, that doesn't work either

Ok ok, How about just a knock on the head? . . . if that didn't lead to possible brain damage/tumor due to blunt force trauma.  


CRAP! how will we teach 'em now?  
New generation of panzy arses.

BUT WOULD THEY STILL SELL KOBOKO IN LAGOS

Probably, but more likely for "Malu". Bulls are stubborn as hell!

Dis Guy:

so you cant teach a child without inflicting pain?
with all the knocking and torture and very high morals we can see the result on the streets of lagos, aba and kano!

@Abuna and camaldina,
What are you guys talking about? Do you know how many studenst get frustrated out of school by their teachers? So you think the only way to correct a child is to spank them.

Let me give my experience: When I was living with my uncle as child, I was late to school because as usual his wife wanted me to do so mcuh work ( cooking, sweeping the compound, and ensuring the my uncles children are taken to school etc) in the morning before going to school (as was always the case). On this fateful day, I met this teacher whom we all know smokes indian hemp before coming to school- he was dreaded even by other teachers. The teacher flogged me so hard on my back that my white uniform was all stained with blood. After that he asked me and the others to kneel on a concrete floor under the hot sun. When I got home even my uncle's wife that never normally cared cringed when she saw the marks on my back. Ofcourse she blamed me for going to school late.

Ofcourse, I was late on so many other occasions because of the chores I have to do as a child before going to school daily and got beaten many more times. This example is extreme I know, but there are many people who will tell you different beating episodes they suffered in the hands of teachers. My girl friend had to move to another school because of a school teacher. Not everyone has that luxery.

I can understand what you mean by the low moral standards in the western world, but at the end they are still better, overall, than us. Many white people I know respect others. but they also know how to fight for their right. It is wrong for teachers to be beating children for whatever reason. Its child abuse.

Abuna:

No, I'm not advocating for child abuse but children need firm boundaries and if its spanking within reason then so be it. Here in the UK, the government is regretting all these 'rights' that have been given to pupils and are looking to pass a bill that will give schools some power to discipline pupils with some sort of reasonable force.  We're quick to copy the West! Why? We're totally different from them. The demography is different. There are different races hence it made sense to outlaw it in the West. Just imagine what would happen when a white teacher clots a black pupil. There will be outcry of racism and  if and do you honestly think a white parent will accept an African flogging thief wards?  

There is complete breakdown down in the moral fibre of the UK society and the is clearly evident in the spate of murders especially amongst black kids. Kids killing kids. Why? Because their parents aren't allowed to discipline them. Sad! Even some white gloat about is saying its good because that way, the blacks would eliminate themselves. What shame! I'm going to rest my fingers now and these are entirely my own personal opinion by the way. Cheers.

Nymph node:

Arrrrgh! Not again! We all know that am not allowed to beat the mother(wife) but not the kids now. Bad law. On a serious note, you only need one bad apple in a class that cant be disciplined to corrupt the who school. Most of this teacher are packed with inferiority complex, take the cane away and you will see most of them burst into tears right in front of this untamed beasts . . . . . The fear of College of Education is the beginning of long life.

camaldina:

Imagine a class of 23, year 10 (equivalent of your ss1 maybe). 8 are already fathers, mothers or expectant fathers or mothers.
Why? Freedom!
Freedom at home, freedom to do anything even at tender age.


That is just a typical class. Some are worse.

Yes, in love. Correction can be done in love. That you think they use canning to relieve stress does not mean everybody uses caning to relieve stress. Not everyone is sadist. Children are like plants, and if they're not strongly corrected would grow up indisciplined and ungodly.
