In general girls behaved better and applied themselves more to their work, but as they matured they could talk back and give the teacher cheek. As a result they were strapped less often. Boys worked less hard, broke more school rules, tended to fight and make a noise,swear, were disruptive and could show acts of bravado in front of girls in a class. As a result they were belted much more often. The worst example I know of involved a boy who was strapped 9 times in a single period lesson. Very few boys got through school without being belted and about 25% of them were routinely belted several times in an average week.
