    I was caned, hit, had blackboard erasers thrown at me, had my hair pulled, and one teacher held me over a bannister for walking on the wrong side of the stairs. School was a nightmare for me and many others. They are not the best days of our lives for a lot of us.

    Ive been beaten up by a teacher, punched in the face by a teacher, allsorts. They used to get away with all that sort of thing. Had teachers make me take my trousers and pants down before they would cane me or give me the slipper. Old headmaster laid me over his office chair, trousers and pants round his ankles then he sat shouting at me red faced from the other side of his table threatening kme with the cane so i would cry more with the fear.

    I was sexually abused at 3.1/2 I told my mother a man had put his wee wee in me. She was horrified and didn’t believe me and told be not to say that because i was still in the garden. But he had taken me out of the garden then put me back and she hadn’t missed me. I never told anyone till after she died and I always wonted to tell her he was a neighbours teenage son 😱I’ve never forgotten it. I tried to tell my daughter but she didn’t want to listen 😢

    Bully teachers will pray on what they see as the weak. They will leave alone any pupil they think would react with violence. Or they will back off when they get a reaction and won't try bullying again.

    Do what? I was in school in the 1960's early 1970. Sure the cane was a possibility. I don't recall anyone ever being caned. Although I did get called to front of the class for a slap in face by a female teacher at age 7, and I did get a bit of a black eye from a blackboard eraser thrown at my desk that bounced up at me, which I genuinely believe was intended to catch my attention not hit me. None of that upset me so much, No, by far my biggest fear at school was all the other boys. Bullying and violence were a constant threat. It's took years to get over that.

    Our maths teacher made two boys, who refused to shut up, stand in front of the class and touch their toes while he came up behind them and kicked them full pelt in the backsides. The two boys were extremely humiliated. What the teacher didn't know was that one of the boys was the son of the boss of GCHQ. The teacher's corpse was found floating in a sewer the next day. Oh no sorry, I'm getting confused with a totally different story. The teacher lost his job.
