school is a place where a child grows into an adult not through beatings but by learning about himself its the experiences while growing up that made me what i am today and im quite glad that a cane on my rump isnt one of them and discipline caning is out of place there as well in fact it encourages children to be more unruly and it gives them a model to follow violence begets violence as the saying goes and children are impressionable resorting to the stick for everything only teaches the youth that violence is a solution instead reach out to your kids when they misbehave and teach them that what theyve done is wrong its actually easier than wasting the strength on a thrashing sadly theres the assumption that private schools are supposed to uphold a reputation to put on a display of prestige to the parents of prospective students as if caning is some sort of knighting ceremony for the rear its a shame that we put so much emphasis on how wellknown a school is when in reality all it takes to succeed anywhere is a strong desire to learn to me many of the expectations forced on the youth are dehumanising and humiliating as if children are rebellious cattle that have to be prodded towards a lake school isnt for driving cattle its for selfactualisation you cant beat someone until he grows up and he shouldnt boast that you had to do it for him
