Welcome to
BBC Xtra English.
Today Inas and Doug are talking about a new
survey about
corporal punishment.
The survey said that 20% of teachers in the UK would like to bring back corporal punishment.
Over 6 thousand teachers were included in this survey. 20% of them said that they wanted to bring back the cane at schools because of an increase in bad behavour.
One teacher said that students do not obey school rules and that teachers needed more power to discipline them.
Perhaps the threat of corporal punishment would be a deterrent.
However, other people believe that corporal punishment should continue to be illegal and is unacceptable in schools.

I think that corporal punishment is one of many things that we should advice teachers and people not to resort to.

I think that the corporal punishment is a very good deterrent to students.

Corporal punishment is effected in special cases only, therefore we have only 20% compatible with hard punishment , I believe these percent were suffering from corporal punishment.
