Bright boys survived and did well as they captured teacher attention, but, in those massive numbers, many boys floundered along, anxious to secure a minimal qualification at Form 3 level so they could leave. Teachers’ nerves frayed and cracked, so the strap was over-used causing resentment and consequent anti-social behaviour in some cases.”
