Ms. Answerman: Corporal Punishment

I can remember growing up in the 50's and early 60's such things were all a part of the education system and it was supported by the parents who normally exercised their own form of corporal punishment. I went to a Catholic school and some of the nuns were brutal. One who taught year 8, had a small slate board with a black piece of rubber garden hose drapped over it. If your name went on that slate you were paraded up in front of the class before dismissal and "disciplined" with that hose across your arse or where ever she could lay it on you with force. Thankfully she was an old battleaxe of a woman and the bishop had her quietly "retired" from teaching when one student's parents raised a stink about the bruises left on that student's legs, and she was gone by the time I got there. But still I had my days in excution with the use of metel rulers. a long wooden spoon, and the old favourite, the bamboo cane. But that's all gone now with strict laws not to. Now some of our schools are like schools from hell with teachers being bullied and beaten, and even stabbed and raped.

Sure.

Wait... Anyone that reads Outpost Nine's editorials "I am a Japanese School Teacher" and in particular browses the forums, will quickly see that from the people who are teaching in Japan right now do not see a single instance of discipline. It's probably their biggest complaint.

Sorry for reviving such an old topic,
