Anyway, back to the subject matter. I suppose when I think about it that I probably witnessed no more than 3 or 4 dozen beltings (if you count a couple of ‘class strappings’ as one !), mainly of the one or two-stroke variety; quite a mild history I believe from other schools, or even some of the non-academic stream classes in my own school. Clearly the period of maximum density was the last year of primary and the first two years of secondary when everyone watched you like a hawk for ‘hooliganism’ or other seditious behaviour.
