There is a popular belief that that was the reason why. Your thoughts?

Was that a 'popular belief' amongst dodgy headmasters who are too dead to be taken to court?

@Thodsis Maybe, but I was talking about those of us who enjoyed being on the receiving end. I know a lot of people who share my belief that that was the reason why corporal punishment was abolished in schools.
