I have little doubt that if the teacher quoted in your friends case had tried that on in my school there would have been a mass walk out. For something as trivial as that he would not have been able to cane a whole class. Well I can only instance one comparable event. I have mentioned before that our Head decided to make the OTC (Officer corps) which had been voluntary for many years compulsory. Governors were initially in favor the proposal, but a substantial group of quite powerful parents were against it . The students were strongly opposed, even those who were voluntary members of the organization. This was during the Vietnam conflict and passions ran high .
