Align these policies to those of individual schools where many of the headmasters came from a generation that certainly subscribed to the sugar and spice and a need to toughen up boy’s culture. So it is easy to see how for instance girls in my own county at the time, where the rules were one of restriction and limitations, together with the individual schools’ own stance, would clearly think that they had total immunity. Before I forget, during my first recollection, I may have indicated that I didn’t think that punishment with the slipper was of much consequence. I know that to be very untrue, the slipper can be made to hurt horribly, even in some circumstances being as painful as the cane, I apologize for this.
