   At primary school headmistress was really strict, boys had backsides caned, girls had legs smacked 6 times minimum for bad behaviour if you fidgeted or played about you were tied in your chair, and spanked before hometime, dont know of anyone affected by it we all deserved it. As for bullying no one did it more than once. And everyone liked the headmistress she might have been really strict, but she was fair

   I have six children, ten grandchildren, and five great grand children, all the adults have good carreers, never been in any trouble... If they did something wrong, I would tell them, 'If you do that again I will smack you, quite hard'. If they did it again I would give them a hard smack on the back of their legs. Tis rarly happened because they knew what would happen. I am very much against shouting at a child, they will learn to shout back,, also you will find that if you speak quietly they will calm down to listen to you..

   Parents and carers should be able to smack a child as a last resort. When I was at school, the cane was still used, but hardly anyone every received it. Same as smacking, children by nature will try and push the boundaries as far as they can. Tell the child to stop what they are doing it, if they dont after a few 'stop what you are doing', then cane or smack them as a last resort. The mere threat of the punshiment will stop the child from going that far. When I say smack or cane, it means just that - I am completelty against child abuse. However as it is now, children are completely out of control and getting worse.
