I too remember many of the canings I was given but can’t recall much else in the way of being disciplined. That is because it was definitely more effective, as you rightly say.
I too don’t think it will ever see a comeback although these things do go in cycles and we are always seeing that theories change around over time. After all, Britain has always said premptive strikes on another country were completely out of the question until Bush/Blair convinced our parliament that it was all right. Having tried it and found it wasn’t working they’ve all now changed their minds back again. Maybe the politicians who voted the banning of school CP will think again in a few years time. Who knows?
