Re: The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword

Physical punishment doesn't really work - it may deter someone who is not generally a trouble maker and makes one mistake and a few wacks put them right - but for many more it didn't make one iota of a difference if they were physically punished. In fact many trouble makers I witnessed standing out side the headmasters office at school thought they were big getting the cane, so it didn't deter them from their dodgy ways.
