Other straps were less efficient. The Lochgelly 24″ 2 tail heavy school strap was the model most often used in Scotland’s schools and it featured an elongated handle so that the teacher could grip the belt at any point along the length the handle as he administered it, increasing or decreasing its effective length and with it the severity of the stroke that would be administered. Then there was the question of how many strokes were appropriate for the offence concerned. The teacher could decide on anything from a single stroke up to six strokes. Finally, he could decide exactly how hard he would aply the belt to the outstretched hands. With all these variables the teacher had all he or she required to administer an appropriate punishment from little more than a tap to something severe in the extreme so he could effectively deal with all manner of offences.
