Could ‘sin bin’ replace the cane?

 

As the debate over banning corporal punishment was hotting up in England in the 1980s, one idea was to create ‘a disruptive unit’ to isolate persistent trouble-makers. These were soon labelled a ‘sin bin.’

One local newspaper in 1981 talked to those for and against the idea. It also asked people in educational circles whether they were for or against the cane.
