I haven’t given my detailed views on any of these . If the thread takes off obviously I will.
Why start this thread? well because I’ve found you can’t discuss corporal punishment in isolation. You have to put it in the social context. that means understanding other approaches and commenting on them .
Interestingly The Rev and Jestin , for example, despite invitations fail to do so. Anyone with a serious view on education , should hold a view on the full sanctions regime . Pro or anti to fail to discuss other alternative to cp is, in my view , to fail to make your case.
