Why I still support caning students in schools

I came across a circulating video depicting a disturbing incident wherein a student was seen bullying a class teacher. The student was physically aggressive, pushing the teacher and even throwing the teacher's teaching materials onto the floor. In stark contrast, the teacher maintained composure and chose not to react. It appears that this response could be attributed to the fear of being perceived negatively or to avoid protracted legal proceedings.

Recently, I engaged in a conversation with a friend who teaches at an international school, seeking insights into her experiences. She shared that a significant challenge she faces is the lack of discipline exhibited by some students. In certain situations, teachers find themselves in a dilemma, unable to take decisive actions out of concern for potential dismissal. Consequently, their focus often remains centered on their primary role. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in the current generation of students who, due to the liberties they enjoy, sometimes lack the discipline that many of us acquired in earlier times.
