I believe schools and teachers should obey the law even if they disagree with it. You can’t expect students to obey rules unless you do so yourself. So if a teacher unlawfully administered corporal punishment, I believe it is reasonable for them to expect to face the legal consequences of that. Should they be taken to court? In some cases, that would certainly be appropriate, but it seems very much the case that in the modern world, many crimes never reach the stage of criminal prosecution because decisions are taken by police or prosecutors that it’s not necessary to go to that extent – and I would think that there would be cases in this area, where a prosecution would not be in the public interest, as is the case with other crimes. I believe a decision to prosecute should be based on all the facts and circumstances.
