Hi

The word is caned.

I am not sure if you can "prevent some kind of behaviour".

My attempt:

The student was caned by his teacher. We must do away with this custom at (our) schools.

Well, maybe the intent was to write caned. I thought the intent was to say fired, which would have been wrong, the correct word being suspended (i.e., thrown out of the school for a certain number of days).

In our culture corporal punishment at schools (especially caning) is very common. Emotion: zip it!
