In Scotland virtually every teacher had their own belt ready in their desk drawer, or in their briefcase, or slipped over their shoulder under their jacket, ready to administer instant justice. The speed with which punishment was administered was rapid indeed. “You boy, not paying attention, come out here!” As the pupil made his way to the front of the class the teacher would open his desk drawer and remove his belt and give his command. “Get your hands up!” The pupil faced his teacher, stretched out his arms and placed one hand, palm uppermost, on top of the other. The teacher swung his belt up and over his shoulder before bringing it down hard up the length of the pupil’s hand.
