It seemed to me that a boy was just as likely to be severely caned for throwing a paper aeroplane as for stealing or fighting. When the television programme Thatll Teach Em was aired a few years ago, they could only intimate the prolific use of the cane, but were forbidden by laws from using it in the programme no matter what the nature of the so called reality programming style. The television channel forum was very quickly clogged by many who indicated that such a programme could never indicate the reality of school life in the fifties because of the lack of the obvious lack of violence.
