The first example shows the escape of the liar, but also a girl who may well have fallen into the expected social role anticipated by the teacher. Boy bumps into her….must be a bully….The second incident is more sinister, and one can only wonder if the girls concerned would have been so keen to send someone for the cane if they had themselves or their friends been subject to it? .In the second case obviously the teacher was either half blind or grossly inattentive whether by accident or design. Furthermore the atmosphere where the boy feels he is intimidated from disputing the truth is regrettably typical, but grossly unacceptable.
