    Another week, another listener lost.

    A thing isn't what it says it is.

    A thing is what it does.

    I remember my dad half thinking of sending my brother to the Christian Brothers for secondary school in the late 70s. My mother said over her dead body and that was the end of that.
    I can’t understand that none of the parents complained when their kids were beaten senseless.

    As a member of an older generation, I was subjected to corporal punishment at school.

    All it did was make me despise the dispensers of it and I would, to this day, cheerfully watch as they died in a house fire.

    However, nothing of mine compares to the experience endured by some callers, pupils of CB schools.

    Can I ask did all teachers use the corporal punishment or was it open to them as to whether they went down the line of instead say giving the student detention, ban from PE, write 25 pages of punishment etc?

    Caller sounded a bit confused when Joe told him to "tell the truth" after giving an already graphic description of his experience.

    The Principal in our primary school, a woman, used to dish out the beatings if you were acting the b0l0x. A few slaps on the hand with a stick and a knuckle to the side of the head. For some reason me and my friends weren't too bothered by it and didn't hold any grudge against the woman. Our punishments were obviously at the lower end of the scale.

    The disappointment in Joe's voice when it turned out the callers brother was still alive.

    Oh good he says through gritted teeth

    Something definitely happened to Joe when he was at school as he's overly obsessed with this,

    Would he not just spill the beans so we could get some closure

    The Scottish primary and secondary schools I was at, the belt was the immediate remedy, and punishment was meted out by the amount of strokes across the hands. Almost every teacher used it, there were some exceptions though. The ones who didn't use it had the knack of teaching without punishment - they weren't soft touches at all, as some said.

    At an English school, corporal punishment took the form of the cane across the arse and only the headmaster could administer it. General punishment was lines and detention. I can't honestly say I recall more than one or two pupils in my year got caned, plenty of us got lines and detention.

    I'd say discipline and general conduct was much better in the English grammar school. Hell, I even volunteered for extra stuff at that school, I enjoyed being there so much.

    I'm out.

    The state should set up a helpline manned by qualified counsellors for the victims so they don't have to ring Liveline.

    Jim is just lonely and looking for a chat, and very jealous of his brother.

    For Joe's pleasure,

    To pretend that he's empathetic to these stories but really he's just patronizing the callers, while he ticks off another group of people to vote him into the presidents Job

    Depends of the teacher. We had a few who would rule by sarcasm, this would be worse than getting a whack. Another teacher could not control a class and would lash out 'Penalties', which could range of from writing out lines, pages of books or detentions. Depending on his mood. Some others gave a whack or dig, this was the easiest as it would hurt, put would be over and done with. If you got into trouble with the headmaster where were two different sizes of leather strap to whack you on the palm of your hand.

    In modrin day they should bring something in like the property tax annual variation where the teachers salary can be risen by 15% a year from their base salary if the pupils give the majority vote that they thought their teacher was an all round good egg so to speak.

    He hasn't had any caller yet who was a wheelchair user that got a beating from a teacher, that would be the equavalent to him of getting the Honda NSX in Top Trumps.

    Tbh I was a bit jaded from hearing all the horror, but I think this particular caller is good at articulating how horrible it was.
