Our teachers couldn’t use the strap at their whim for any reason. There actually had to be a pretty good reason for someone to get the strap – you had to be doing something you knew to be wrong, and you had to be doing it deliberately, and even then most of the time you wouldn’t have got the strap. It wasn’t the teachers whim that got you strapped. It was your misbehaviour. Now, I know there have been some schools where that wasn’t true – but I didn’t go to schools like that. At my school it would have been totally unreasonable to fear the possibibility of being strapped at a Master’s whim, or to fear being strapped without a pretty good reason – most of the time a very good reason.
