However, it'll be easier if the teachers were allowed to have the authority to cane, too. Still, I'm Ok with the status quo.Henry Yewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197109178060069743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664839993506017632.post-13708167433262727202007-02-10T20:33:00.000+08:002007-02-10T20:33:00.000+08:00It seems that Henry has reached a compromise. Keep...It seems that Henry has reached a compromise. Keeping the status quo seems to be the be the best approach at the moment.<BR/><BR/>Is fear of pain a good disciplinary tool? Sometimes it works but stubborn students are "immune" to pain.<BR/><BR/>According to some studies in the developed world it seems caning (actually corporal punishment as a whole) causes psychological trauma in children. Some even claim "victims" of caning, spanking etc. become violent when they grow up. <BR/><BR/>As far as I know the remaining developed countries that allow corporal punishment are Singapore, Taiwan and Japan. Lobbyist in Japan<BR/>currently are trying to force politicians to outlaw corporal punishment.<BR/><BR/>As for Western countries all forms of corporal punishment are banned. In the UK chaos has ensued. People there now are afraid of gangs of youths roaming the streets (mostly boys in their early teens who are often drunk). Gangs are going out of control in many schools with many cases of stabbings. In the US cases like the Columbine High School Massacre point to an even larger problem.<BR/><BR/>So, which is the way out, to cane or not to cane?Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14210641148822697822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664839993506017632.post-52582332195839870002007-02-10T18:52:00.000+08:002007-02-10T18:52:00.000+08:00Very well written, Esther!It's OK if you can learn...Very well written, Esther!<BR/><BR/>It's OK if you can learn without the stick. And if everybody has the mentality like yours, the stick could just go forever!<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, different people have different attitudes, and some just need caning for correction.<BR/><BR/>Permission letter? Well, the idea is not far-fetched, but if the student does commit a serious offence that is too heavy for demerit or counselling yet not heavy enough for expulsion, what type of punishment do you propose? Perhaps we can share ideas on this matter!<BR/><BR/>You're not the only one who threw away the cane when you were young. I did, too! You remembered how much you hated your teacher for caning you. I did, too. But when you grow older, you start to realise things. She wasn't abusing you; she tried to get you back to earth.<BR/><BR/>About the abusing part, everything is prone to abuse. It is out of our hands whether or not the cane will be abused by the teacher. But remember, it's only a small minority of people who abuse the cane.<BR/><BR/>The status quo now is that teachers are not permitted to use the canes, except the principal and the discipline teachers. If the teacher things that an offence needs the caning penalty, they could always refer the offender to the principal or the discipline teachers.<BR/><BR/>Of course, when we speak of caning, we don't refer to public caning (though I didn't make it clear). If caning is necessary, let it be in the principal's office or the discipline teacher's room, or somewhere else where people don't often pass by the area (e.g. classroom corridor).Henry Yewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197109178060069743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664839993506017632.post-32700343200031510072007-02-10T18:13:00.000+08:002007-02-10T18:13:00.000+08:00i think the stick should go... teachers may misuse...i think the stick should go... <BR/><BR/>teachers may misuse them if they can't control themselves. of course there is the rule/ terms which the teachers have to follow when caning but what if there are grudges held on the particular student? <BR/><BR/>i remember being caned by my teacher when i was in std. 2 and std. 3 for not finishing my homework. it did make me a better person but then again, it reminded me of how much i hated my teacher as well for always accusing me that i was lying of forgetting to finish them. <BR/><BR/>you know, i think there should be a permission letter as in, whether the parents allow teachers to cane their sons/daughters if they do sthg seriously wrong.. *yup.. another whacky idea by me*<BR/><BR/>human learn by pain, i agree.. human also learn when it's too late.. and because i hated pain, i remember throwing the canes my mum used to buy from the night market into the drain right outside my house. did i mention that i was a lil' kid around 3-4 in age? i hv my parents, brother and aunt telling me that since i don't remember the incident...<BR/><BR/>since then, i was brought up by hanger.. haha.. well, i wasn't "caned" much. i learned of what is right and wrong by discovering them on my own. most of the time, it takes time to differentiate between wats right and wrong. believe me, i'm still learning...<BR/><BR/>even if the cane doesn't go, and if students were to be caned, i think they shouldn't be caned in front of their friends but instead in the teacher's room. that child still need to study and LIVE in that school... so yeah.. (gosh, did i just write and essay?)Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958735693473206389noreply@blogger.com
