corporal punishment

outlawed in 1987(uk)its seem the rise of violence and abuse towards teachers. kids rule the roost these days, and that can't be right. i recall my school days, and i am sure it changed my manors towards the teachers, i did not want the cane. it all broke down in 87, what i think should have been done is, independant administration of the punishment, it became too personel with some kids and their teachers.if you had some guy going around all the schools alone, he would not get to know the kids, therefor could not get to hate them like the teachers did.thats where it broke down
