“Brother Camillus, a likeable man, had experienced problems in controlling the sizeable junior secondary classes. His mistake was in trying to have jokes and fun in classes full of rather insensitive adolescents who took the opportunity to release pent-up energy with noise and unruly behaviour. Brother Camillus would respond with the strap, become very unpopular, and then try to reassure the class with more good humour. The cycle would then begin again.”
