Never did me any harm, apart from all the time I had to spend in the 90's hunting down my teachers, knocking them out with Chloroform and burying them alive in wooden boxes in remote fields.

Or maybe not.
T'was a different world in my day too. Our metalwork teacher, a hulking man in himself, used to have a thick strip of rubber tubing that he dubbed his 'Tommy Tickler'.
He introduced every new class to it at their very first meeting with him, explaining what it was called before bringing it whacking down on a bench with a massive painful-sounding thwack, instilling in us all the firm knowledge that he had used it in anger before, and would dearly love to do so again.
We treated him with much caution.

He used to do the same with his "belt", a large half inch thick leather tawse. He only used it once in the three years we had his class, and only because the little shit had it coming to him for a long time. Funnily enough, that same little shit now teaches.
Personally, I hated the sadists in the PE Dept, who had so many implements of torture at their mercy.Posted 2 years ago # -

I just wish that teachers were allowed to use some violence these days.
