If the cane is allowed back into schools then it may be encouraged into work places and more and more people would not want to work and then the price of things would go up and the currency value would go down and a chain of events could be triggered.
How would you like to be hit (caned) for something as miner as having the corner of your shirt un tucked or how would you like to be hit with the cane for something that someone else had done and had blamed on you.
Article 19 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child requires States to protect children from "all forms of physical or mental violence" while in the care of parents or others. The Committee on the Rights of the Child has consistently interpreted the Convention as requiring States to protect children from all corporal punishment and has recommended that prohibition should be accompanied by public education to promote positive discipline.
Over the last decade, a series of judgments from constitutional and supreme courts and from the European Court of Human Rights have challenged the legality of corporal punishment of children, schools and in some cases in the family home.
Its illegal in almost every state worldwide - in contrast to other forms of inter-personal violence - challenges the universal right to equal protection under the law.
The aims of the Global Initiative already have the support of UNICEF, members of the Committee on the Rights of the Child and key international human rights organization and individuals.
Most people in the world at the time hit (caned) because they got a question wrong this itself is wrong because the pupil could have been trying as hard as they could but that might not be good enough because they might not be very smart/bright.
The punishment does not last that split second the pupil is hit the pain could last up to two to three days.
It is so un-fair because the teacher might not be having a very good day and could take it out on the students by hitting the pupil(s) when they didn’t do anything or they could hit the pupil(s) too many times and could severely hurt them.
There is a law about inflicting pain on others, and it is there for a reason. This is because it degrades the person being hit; it makes them feel lesser, more inferior than the person that is hitting them. If you go up to someone in the street and hit them, the police can charge you with assault. Things should not be any different in schools. You would just be allowing licensed assault.
If the teachers hit the students then the school should get a signed note from both parents and if one of the parents is dead then they should get a signature from a step parent or care giver. If you caned children at school then it might force/lead them to running away or even committing suicide but that is just a theory I have never heard of any one committing suicide yet.
