On a thread on FR about unpleasant childhood memories, a lady called Susan Bath has simply written ” being beaten”
From the same school though, Nayland Primary, Debby Moyle has written the following:
Mr Jacobs:
I remember him. In games one day my friend and I were throwing the little plastic balls with holes in them up in the air and catching them again. We threw them higher and higher( I seem to remember that the ceiling in the hall was very high, but maybe this was because I was only 6 or 7) Anyway, my friend’s ball hit the ceiling and Mr Jacobs turned around to see me throw my ball in the air. He made the rest of the class sit on the floor, leaving me standing, came over, and slapped me on the behind! I wish that I had the guts to report him to my parents then! But as I say I was only little. He was horrible. I’m glad to read other reports on here and learn ( now that I am in my thirties) that I wasn’t the only pupil he smacked!
