The abolishment of corporal punishment was the start of the rot.


I can't agree with that. I know people who started life as bright, confident
primary school children, went to a secondary school with corporal
punishment, and, although never likely to deliberately break a rule, went in
fear and emerged into adulthood with all the confidence knocked out of them.
I wouldn't want a return to that.
