I Administered Corporal Punishment As A Teacher

I am a retired teacher and headmaster. I taught in the days when corporal punishment was still permitted and in schools where it was frequently used. I helped create a disciplined school and assisting in providing first class education to the pupils.

It's the quality of education that fails to get mentioned when the do-gooders get wound up at the mere suggestion of the reintroduction of corporal punishment. They don't appreciate that a teacher can't do their job when their surroundings resemble a zoo! And schools these days are more akin to a bad day in Aleppo!! I'm not saying things were perfect in my time at school (1983-88) but they were for more orderly and conducive to learning than these days.
