No definitely not. I came from an era where teacher could cane students over the hands. I coped it several times myself. and at no time did I feel the punishment justified the crime. Allowing frustrated teachers to vent their anger on children with acts of violence is just plain wrong. It is wrong in the same way as corporal punishment would be for adults. I am not particularly against a parent giving a small child a small slap on the back side but I think teachers hitting kids is an affront on both the teachers and the child's human rights and dignity. If we are not allowed to hit prisoners in prison we should treat our children with the same consideration.

teachers shouldn't be allowed to hit students but they can they only took the cane away because they thought it was too harsh Should teachers be allowed to hit students?

Of course not, nor are they allowed to hit students. They are however, allowed to 'correct' students. That is, if a student requires physical guidance to keep themselves or others safe, teachers are allowed to adminster physical correction, much as a parent would.

Should children be hit in school as a punishment?

No. Teachers, nor any of the school staff has the right to hit a child, for several reasons. It is the parent's decision as to whether or not "capitol punishment" will be used on their child. Many parents today don't even use spanking as a form of punishment themselves. So if they won't hit their child as punishment at home, why should someone else be allowed to do so? Also, what one teacher may consider a spanking offense, another one may not. I have seen teachers who were way too hasty in their punishment of students, and their punishment was way too severe. There are other, more effective ways of disciplining a child. The teacher can require the child to do extra school work, detention, etc. But under no circumstances should the teacher ever do anything that would harm the child, or cause any embarassment to the child. Things like that can stay with a child for years to come, causing severe emotional or self esteem problems. While teachers do need to be allowed to discipline when necessary, it should be in the appropriate ways, and criticism should be constructive criticism, never in a way that is intended to humiliate the child.
