Big classes and no assistance means you can’t let things slip, you must be in complete charge, and you haven’t got time for reasoning, discussion, time outs and similar soft techniques. Were the Teachers who used corporal punishment in the ways discussed perverts? No, despite much discussion here, I still don’t think they were. They did what they thought needed to be done, and they got results in the form of pupil attainment. I’m darned glad I got my initial education in that environment and not in many of today’s Primary schools!
