I remember that happening and the ruler broke

and the strap as well

[Mackiwi]

Yes a may in early primers, then just a rest on the desk as we were older.
The threat of the strap turned us all into upright citizens, have to wonder if they should bring it back today.
Where is Sir? He wouldn't be snogging the lady teacher next door ?

I had a charming teacher who used to throw the duster..................he missed once................and you know who he hit 

I remember at primary school a boy called Peter got the strap, he was the only one I can remember.

I remember one of our boys getting his mouth washed out with soap!! 
 
And the teacher broke my NEW ruler on another child - I was VERY upset and it was my first ruler and I was in grade 1 !

Here is one for you.   When I was in the primers, we had a teacher who didn't like anyone biting their nails.   She used to wrap the offending hand in a glove (or it could have been material) and smear mustard on the outside. Whenever that hand was put to mouth, they got a very nasty taste.

[Janette]

They would have a field day if that happened today.
Some teachers were quite cruel

So nice to see you all sitting there so patiently. 

I will post a conclusion to this story tomorrow (I had written one but it needs a revamp).

There might even be a postscript much later on if you're lucky.
