Rejected petition Bring the cane back to schools

More details

Children have no respect, manners or discipline anymore, and one of the major reasons is that schools are too soft on the youth of today. Youths today are allowed to get away with far to much both in school and out of school, bringing back punishments like the cane would solve the total lack of respect and lack of manners that kids have today.
