Not CLOBBERING. |
It was the backside at my first Grammar School. Only ever done by the Head Master, and always in the presence of another teacher, even in the old days.
My husbands school in Leeds did caning too, infact it was the one where all my kids had their secondry education. That school also did the wooden ruler on the tops of the hands, side of it as well, hurt more than flat on, he only ever got that.
The fear of either kept most folk in check.
As an ex pupil who went to a school where they were allowed to disipline, I feel it worked better than it does in the schools today.
Typed by a Mother of three children, who have only ever been disiplined by teachers by detention methods.
I like Russ do believe that punishment methods should be at home, but when we took everythng away from the teachers the school behaviour did become worse.
Its the fear of something that usually keeps people in check, not nowadays though, as we live in a way different world, than we did in my school days
