I'm all for bringing back corporal punishment.
This generation is extremely self-righteous, self-centered, and ill-behaved. This country also performs poorly in international tests. If corporal punishment is used as a deterrent for not doing homework or disrupting the class, like Manda said, go ahead.
Also, detentions should not be held during lunchtime or after-school. The students after school life should be observed (To see if he hangs with friends a lot or has any music lessons) and then assign the detention to break his/her schedule. I don't see detention having much effect unless it disrupts the students life.
