Parenting is not easy and the people have to have a licence for a dog, a car and a TV. So does it not stand to reason they need a licence to have children...
Also children face no punishment these day's an ASBO is seen as some badge of honour, and they all break them anyway..
Should we bring back the stocks.... and should we bring back the cane in schools, even as a threat of a detterent it may do some good.

No you should not have to get a license. That is a violation of the Constitution, though I admit many people could use the training! Most parenting education is learned from ones parents, be that good or bad! Most parent's know little about parenting and make it up as they go along!
Let a teacher try hitting one of my kids! You haven't seen a lawsuit that would hit the courts so quick!
I would have to comment that you are exactly the type I saw over my 16 years of investigating child abuse and neglect! Not that you are a bad person. or have bad intentions!
My reality was that children who were hit, or beaten, might have acted better than those who weren't, but it was never because internal controls were taught by parents, and you just can't teach internal controls by hitting! All you teach by hitting are external controls, and that just won't make it once a kid hits 18! You want a child not to do something because they have a conscience that was instilled by a parent that resorted to allowing kids to feel guilt for doing wrong things. They feel they let there parents down! We all learn by mistakes, and when you make one, you don't deserve to be assaulted!
And I don't buy corporal punishment anyway! Most parents I saw were hitting because they were mad and angry, and most often the punishment was not in any proportion to a child's action!
I have heard the "Spare the Rod and spoil the child" but that has been so misinterpreted that it makes one sick everytime they hear it! Rods were used in the time of Jesus Christ, and even today by sheepherders! They used their RODS to GUIDE the sheep, not beat them! I have never seen a sheepherder raise a rod to hit a sheep!
Funny that you say parents should get licenses and in the next breath want teachers to assault children!
Threatening doesn't work either! Limits do, if coupled with enforcing them! And they have to be fair and the child needs to know what that limit is and the consequence BEFORE the behaviour!

Kids need a deterrent to mis-behaving. Even if they keep it up there must be firm and regular reminders of where the line is drawn. I honestly believe the kids are owed this by the parents and adult mentors that bring them up or teach them.
The soft stance hasn't worked, and I have noticed a significant increase in the insolence, bad manners and total disrespect that kids are showing now. They feel they are untouchable, and although physical abuse is unacceptable and should be severely punished for the adverse effect it has on individuals development, there is needed a short, sharp shock alternative to trying to reason with a child when they seem to be holding all the aces.
Tough love is needed by parents (not sure about licenses) if they want there kids to become upstanding society members. The do-gooders, I feel, may re-think their stance when they realise, as so many wronged people have realised, that the soft option has become a rod for our own backs.
The main areas where these failings are presenting themselves now are at work. British kids are being constantly bettered, hands down, by immigrant workers who understand that we need to knuckle down, and you get nowt for nowt. I know these immigrants (the Polish workers over here put our younsters to shame) don't come from strong economic backgrounds, but that's irrelevant. There's an imperative ethic required which we, as a nation, have failed to educate a great deal of our children.
There, I said it....

No but Stop all tax credits and benefits on children and those that can't look after them will not have them.
If a Parent is too young (under 18) then their parent should be given custody and look after the baby until the parent can prove that they can look after it without state help.
Soon only responsible parents will be having kids.
Responsible parents do not beat their offspring it is wrong to teach children that to get their own way they must beat someone.
After all this is the problem.

If you want your daughter's bottom to be paddled, send her to America:
Meanwhile (recent historical):
No smacking in Saddam's schools
Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has said that teachers should not resort to physical punishment in dealing with pupils. Following is an excerpt from a report by Iraqi television.
Leader President Saddam Hussein, may God preserve him, has said that teachers should be enlightened on two matters.
Firstly, a teacher is an educator, not only an instructor who teaches reading, writing and other subjects. The teacher should also be an example of good conduct.
Secondly, a teacher should also remember that, in today's world, physical punishment should not be on the agenda of the relationship between teachers and students to make a student follow the right path.
Teachers are forced to resort to physical punishment, although this method is painful for both teachers and students.
His excellency made these remarks while chairing the 32nd session of the Council of Ministers.
His excellency was commenting on a statement made by the minister of education to a weekly newspaper, in which the minister gave instructions on physical punishment in schools and in which he spoke about fund-raising to rehabilitate schools.
The minister underlined the importance of adhering to the relevant instructions on methods of fund-raising and using them to achieve education and practical objectives...

First in UK you don't need licence for a dog but should
bring licence back for them.
The cane should be also brought back.
Licence for having kids would not work as those
who didn't have one would fill prisons and lots
would be dumped on door steps.

Egawds man. What! Are you regressing to a past-life experience? Like your life in 1732 in the UK? Yeh, let's chop off hands and bring back stoning!
Don't you think better education could help in all these situations? Humane education. Not just education to spew out workers for the few corporations who want to rule the world.

Are you crazy? Touch a kid nowadays and he might come back and blow the whole school up. And as far as a license, we can't do that as long as we are a free nation. Kids need discipline, but ask yourself who should get the right to discipline and what makes them so perfect and qualified. I don't want anyone beating my kid unless its me, plus most everyone I know that was beaten when they were young grew up to be psychotic.
