Fandango - You seem altogether too familiar with the intricacies and minutiae of discipline & corporal punishment* - is there something you'd like to share with the class?
*as opposed to major bumsore |

Mind you, not many Americans or Canadians visit the Earl Grey room... The principal in my grade school ( an upstanding friar ) had three different belts he used for those in need of some " well meaning " discipline. The first time you got the " strap " you would choose the long thin one- big mistake-but you would learn and choose one of the thicker ones on futur visits . Today if a teacher or any other adult raised a hand to a child, he or she would be in the paper the next day under the title: Fired for hitting... Nowadays students seem to run schools . |

i always thought corporal punishment was meant to be a deterrent for pupils - it made the good ones live in fear lest they err without even knowing it in most cases, and the naughty ones saw it as an occupational hazard and getting the cane made them even worse...? .

This kind of physical punishment had vanished in U.S. public school by the time I was a student. Instead, armed gangs of kids roamed the halls and provided a constant state of fear.

Sadly Steve I am unable to as I avoid it like an embarrassing social disease. Unfortunately it's hard to avoid it in the media. Who knows what damage these idiots have done to the image of the British abroad (it was noticeable that the top 3 were all non-British). |
