Lack Of Caning In Schools Spells Doom For Future Generations

The good book says spare the rod and spoil the child. But somehow some clever human beings who think that they are cleverer than the creator and that their wisdom surpasses what is contained in the manufacturer's hand book have promoted the ides that caning is wrong.

I am not an expert in this new thinking that is not without fault, but it is said that caning violates the human rights of a child. African countries like Kenya have quickly incorporated this kind of thinking and today it is illegal to cane a child in Kenya.

I am pretty sure that I and many others I know would not have turned out the way we did had we not received the occasional six of the best on our backsides to get our thinking and actions back on course. Indeed western countries that have long banned corporal punishment now have very serious discipline problems with youngsters. For example there are parents in places like Britain who today get completely overwhelmed by their children and have to ask for professional help. Their children literally rule the house and make all the decisions.

This disaster is now being rapidly transferred to Africa where we already have much more than our fair share of problems.

I have a friend who teaches child psychology at the Kenyatta University and the good doctor tells me that discipline can be maintained without caning. She then promptly hands me a thick manual she has written on the subject. Now how many teachers are going to be privileged enough to get this information?

What has happened is that caning has been stopped in schools but most teachers are still scrambling for an alternative with some clandestinely breaking the law by returning to the cane.

What most Kenyans do not realize is that what we have done by banning caning is to allow the emergence of hundreds of thousands of factories countrywide that are rapidly churning out, carjackers, hit men, drug traffickers and other criminals at a very fast rate. We are cheating ourselves big time by calling these said factories for criminals, schools.
