(Going along with the thread of conversation tonight)
Do you think a form of physical discipline [corporal punishment] should be brought back to schools? Obviously something mild that isn’t going to actual harm the children–slapping with a ruler or book kind of thing (caning seems a bit extreme).
It got me thinking–in high school I went to a Japanese school for a year and corporal punishment is very common.

Product Description
According to UNESCO’s statistics, the number of illiterates in the world is verging on one million. A conservative estimate of the number of children who have no access to schooling brings that figure to more than one hundred million. School failure, brought about by overcrowding, poor facilities, unqualified teachers, and lack of materials only adds to the problem. The authors in this volume cover the many facets of the fight for literacy.
