Headmasters could wield much influence, some saw the tawse as the last option and discouraged their staff from using it unless absolutely necessary, while others encouraged their staff to use the belt for even the smallest of offences and would back them up by having a reputation of giving a very severe thrashing to any pupil that a teacher should have to send to him for punishment. Teachers too varied. I have known some who used it perhaps only a few times a week and others for whom using it 10 times in a 40 minute period (there were 8 periods in the day) would not be unusual.
