Although it was a good few years ago I remember the belt at school only to well, here in Scotland in the secondary school I went to, it was a daily event.
During my days at primary, I can only remember it being used on I think one occasion, and although I never received it then, it scared the wits out of me.
I can recall the first time I was belted at secondary, I must have been in my first year and I think it was for passing a note to my friend who was sitting close by, I was too busy watching her and all I heard was the teacher shout my name at the top of his voice, and I was ordered out in front of the class.
