SIR: I reply to your correspondent B Derbyshire. During a PE lesson at the Co-educational Grammar School that I attended in Bolton during the 1970s, one of the girls let off a fire extinguisher. As the culprit would not own up the entire class of 20 or so girls had to touch their toes for three strokes of the slipper.
I am glad that my children, who are approaching secondary school age, will not be subject to such an ‘instant, painful’ and too easily resorted to ‘solution’.
My children will not grow up into ‘unteachable yobs’ as they have been bought up properly and do not need the threat of a beating to make them behave at school.
