So half of Britain's parents and one in five of students would be in favour of bringing back the cane, according to recent articles carried in the Express, Daily Mail, Telegraph and a light hearted snippet in the Sunday Times. I've linked the Express but the others are accessible online too, similar vein.
The cane was banned from state schools in 1987 and in private schools in 1998, so they were still officially whacking away in the posh schools only 13 years ago. I wonder how much unofficial whacking still goes on.
Thank goodness the government would find it nigh on impossible to poke its nose into private households let alone enforce a ban.
