  1. I grew up in the 60s you dare not go home and tell your parents you were in trouble at school because your parents always backed the teachers and you would be in trouble a second time with your parents. Now if teachers use harsh words on a pupil I expect the parents are up the school threatening to punch the teachers lights out.

  2. I agree. It must be a thing with maths teachers our maths teacher was handy with a board rubber. I also remember even at primary school in the 60s our teacher had a nylon ruler that you could bend double it would not break. He used that on the kids hands if they got out of line. I think 1 It made you behave 2 Toughened you up a bit. All qualities we seem to be losing in Britain.
