The practice of belting an entire class was not uncommon in Scotland, although the extent of it varied widely school to school. It was usually brought about as a result of the teacher being absent from the classroom for a short period and, on his/her return, hearing substantial noise emanating from the class, or general disruption being apparent. When those responsible were asked to own up no one did and so the whole class, boys and girls, were belted as a punishment. Often the pupils would be called out to the front of the class one row at a time, belted and then returned to their seats. The next row would follow and so on until the entire class had been punished.
