Earlier this month a of more than 6000 teachers, by the Times Educational Supplement, found that one in five teachers would like to see the cane re-introduced in UK schools.

Corporal punishment was banned in state schools in 1987, and banned in private schools in 1998.

For The One Show, Anita Rani spoke to Michael Shaw from the TES, who said that the survey results reflect teachers' frustration about the lack of options they have to discipline children.

Anita also met Katie Ivens, vice-chair of the Campaign for Real Education. She believes that "serious violence, bringing knives to school, assaulting teachers, throwing chairs at them... I suspect that things like that just wouldn't happen if the option to use the cane existed."

At the Oasis Academy in Surrey, Anita met Principal John Murphy - he opposes corporal punishment in schools. He said: "I think caning is a legalised beating of a child - which is totally inappropriate. We have found that there is a clear connection between children that behave violently in school and children who have violence at home... so as adults here we have to be really good role models. We have to show [pupils] that they're loved, accepted and valued."

John also told Anita that he was caned as a child, and that it caused him to lose respect for his teacher.

So, should caning return to schools? What do you think? What are your experiences of corporal punishment?
