“Were girls at school fearful of:
unjust punishment?
inappropriate punishment?
punishment by someone who was not their parent?
punishment involving physical pain?
punishment by a male?
the constant threat of punishment in the air?
automatic punishment for offences that one was likely to eventual commit, like forgetting gym kit?
the humiliation of having other people know that you have been punished?
punishment at home following punishment at school?
the appearance of the punishment on the school leaving record (back when many girls left at 15 without formal qualifications)?”
