One good example, and probably the only time I thought our primary school head was right, comes to mind. There had been some serious horseplay and bullying carried out on a group of younger kids by three boys and a girl in my form . Our form teacher ( male) discovered it and told them all off severely, but then sent the BOYS to see the headmistress for the strap. the GIRL was let off. Later, three tearful boys returned , ………the girl , called Janet, was smirking. A few minuted after the Headmistress entered the room and asked for the girl to go with her…..for a well deserved strapping. The form master tried to interject but she was having none of it …she would not tolerate bullying , by boys or girls ! I’m pleased to report that she got the same , three strokes , along with the boys!
