Ah yes, let’s teach the bullies that physical violence is an appropriate response to behavior you don’t like. Surely that’ll have no consequences.

I first read this as 'caring'....Which I suspect is probably a better approach, given that these are children

But, I have met tons of people that probably could've benefited from a good ol' caning, so there's that too...

I read 'canning' and was very confused for a moment

With air holes of course!

Exact same reaction lmao. I feel like caning will build character xd. Also teach them a valuable skill.

Are you now reading caning as canning, like I did after misreading caring first as well?

Because those kids are going to be beaten with canes, not making preserves.

Unless they’re fixing wicker chairs, then we’re all confused.

Considering how often bullies are enabled by school administrators, I can't foresee any unforeseen consequences with this policy.
