It is my first post on Nairaland I decided to come in with this because many parents rejoice because of absence of cane in their little children's School
to my own opinion, I think cane should be allowed so that when a child is badly flogged you will know when you see the marks of cane either on his back when bathing him or in any part of his body.
I have been wondering why there is no cane in my child's class I have even approached the teacher to ask her why there is no cane in her class and she said the School authority cancelled it, and she also said that many parents hate to see cane in their children's School and it can even make them to remove their children from such school.
But last week I prepared my child for school and I did the usual thing I normally do,
I prayed for him and anointed him with blessed oil, but immediately I finished anointing his lips,
he said mummy please anoint my back so that if that Aunty give me blow on my back it will not pain me
he said it repeatedly.

But before that very day he has complained of back pain, chest pain.
so in my opinion I think cane should be allowed than to inflict internal injuries on a child with blow or slap on their face or giving them knocks on their head thereby leaving them with brain injuries.
your opinion is allowed

Lol the cane is not the problem, but the problem nw is the person who is handling the cane..

Some teachers have anger issues dat they will just flog the student to death...


First of all, you dnt flog an asthmatic patient! U just don't! Maximum six strokes of d cane should be attained when disciplining an erring student and teachers should watch the intensity of d stroke.


My children will attend a military school by the way.

Teachers can discipline students by punishing them, And the punishment shouldn't be too much so you won't injure the child.....as for me am against using of cane, belt or to use your hands on any student.

yes it does, am not against discipline at all but teachers these days discipline students without caution. If my child does something wrong he/she should be disciplined because I grew up in an environment where discipline was done collectively. Anybody can discipline you when you're wrong and your parents would do nothing about it and it really helped me.

nice..

Nw let's narrow this down individually. Supposing ur child comes back home from school and tells u his teacher flogged him/her at school today? How would u react to such scenario?

As long as there's no injury on your body, no problem but if there is I'll kindly call your teacher and tell him/her to be careful next time.

u knw we all got injuries on our bodies back in those days, but we just neva reported the matter to our parents.

So people still do not know any better methods to discipline children than to beat them up?

you can't injure my child in the name of discipline, I won't take that

Pumpkin34:

and u would injure d same child in d name of discipline? And u expect him to take that?

God bless you OP, I onced asked my baby's teacher why they don't have cane, she said the school disallows it. I swallowed it until the day my husband complained that the class attendant asked other pupils to slap awake a sleeping child. I asked if he corrected her and my husband actually said it wasn't his business. I was so shocked he could say such. I corrected him and remanded him that every child was his.
I started doing school runs myself till the day I caught the class teacher violently hitting a 4 year old baby on his back( with all her might!). My heart broke, I lost my cool and pointed out her wrong deed. Through out that session I anointed my baby and prayed fervently against victimization. Even up till today I always ask his teachers to flog him at the back of his fingers with ruler each time he misbehaves instead of beating.
School proprietors should please reintroduce cane. If you flog a child angrily or maliciously, the cane will tell but you can beat a child to death without any scratch on the body...

Cutehector:

I wouldn't do that to my child.

it is a pity the way they beat up kids with their bar hands as if they are beating robbers, I have seen a three years with the teacher's finger's print on her face, the finger print did not fade out till closing time am sure her mum will be mad at that teacher after seeing her face

I prefer cane to that secret beating they are beating those kids I just pray parents should understand and stop rejoicing at the absence of cane in their children's School, as for me I prefer caning a child, there is no way you can train a Nigerian child without cane, as for me I have came at home, once I have fed a child and make sure the child is not sick that might make him to misbehave, put him in his discipline room and bring him out after 20 minutes, I pray for the child to make sure he is not acting under the influence of unseen forces after I have done all that and the child keep misbehaving then I consult my cane, and flog his bum or his thin.
But in the school, teachers won't have time for all the above mentioned dramas, so a stroke of cane on the bum can correct a child behaviours, cos they fear their teachers more than their parents.

Another important factor is the caliber of teachers employed. For pre school classes and nurseries, I suggest cool tempered married women who understand that children are capable of driving one crazy most times rather than young ladies who wouldn't accommodate their excesses

You seem to have missed out something here.

Hitting a child with cane or otherwise should not be allowed for caregivers, teachers or anyone except the parents.

They should explore other methods of punishing the child.

if my child mentions chest pain from teacher hitting him i'd be at the school addressing the subject with their management not asking for cane to be allowed in the school!
