How Hard Would It Be To Bring Back CP in the UK6

when the Scottish judgement came in it was far more in favor of continuation than our civil service expected. At that time all the Scots had to do was introduce a right of parental opt out. All the Teacher’s unions and the Heads opposed that as worse than abolition, so they wouldn’t negotiate ( Personal autonomy in loco parentis was more important than in school discipline). This played right into the civil service mentality,( how can we teach two groups of students differently? Different Schools . Presumably they couldn’t afford the airfare to Texas….to find out it worked )! So they lost the right to cane/belt Scottish State schools first, then UK state first, then private Northern Ireland and Scottish private bringing up the rear. The real coward on the latter choice, in the private sector was good old John Major, who wouldn’t even back his Education Secretary when for once he had a teacher in post!
