I Believe In Corporal Punishment
At my first school, aged 8, I and the girl who sat next to me were caught playing a stupid game during a lesson. We didn't receive a specific punishment, but were given a severe dressing down by the headmistress and were humiliated by our class teacher for about the next fortnight. Much better, I think, if we had been given three or four hard smacks with a slipper and that had been the end of it.
