The court ruled that that was not so in state schools, because the teacher’s power came from the Crown, and the Crown was a higher authority than a parent. The flip side of this was, that when corporal punishment was banned in government schools, a teacher could not administer corporal punishment even if a parent asked them to – because the same argument applied – the Crown’s power to ban teachers from using corporal punishment, was superior to a parent’s power to authorize it.
