Even worse was going back to the lesson afterwards. Everyone stared & I was crimson with embarrassment. Brings a shudder to my spine even now. Didn’t cheek Miss S again though & it taught me a lesson that I have never forgotten.
First-year secondary modern circa 63, I was in a science class with a right old bat of a teacher Miss B. My pal said something to me and I made the mistake of acknowledging his word.
Miss B the old cow ( in fact about 25 ish) sent me to Mr S for a whacking for talking in class. obviously I was to be the sacrificial example.
