All the limp left anti-smacking ****s, or beating as they like to call it, have a hell of a lot to answer for.
Violence. How delightful. It might help for a short while, but as everyone knows violence begets more violence. You do realise that what you are advocating would be a serious crime if it was committed against an adult - assault and battery, abh? The notion that children should be given less protection under the law than adults is abhorrent and wrong. Out of interest, in this child-beating world of yours, at what age would desirable violence against children suddenly become criminal assault against a grown-up? 18? Perhaps when they come of age these stroppy teenagers of yours can have "hit me again and I'll call the police" parties.
So what is your answer to that Einstein?
There are such things as moral absolutes. Schools are not places which should do violence to children. Not under any circumstances. Absolutely none. Never. I don't care if this primitive cultural practice has been prevalent in this country for centuries. It is as wrong as fgm or capital punishment - and happily now just as illegal.
