Why was the use of the cane banned?

The use of the cane was banned in many educational and disciplinary contexts due to concerns over its effectiveness and the potential for physical and psychological harm to students. Research has shown that corporal punishment can lead to negative outcomes, including increased aggression, mental health issues, and a breakdown in trust between students and educators. Additionally, many countries and institutions have shifted towards promoting positive reinforcement and alternative disciplinary methods that foster a safer and more supportive learning environment.
