Just been watching a debate about capital punishment in schools. Some very strange people were on it. David Davis MP looked like he really enjoys a good thrashing.

I don't think that it's a good thing. But then I didn't go to a public school.

I did go to a Jesuit school, however. And they had a thing called the ferula. It was a leather (I think, never actually was hit with it) instrument. Not very nice, by all accounts.

Anyway wrote this.

Any views on capital punishment? Then share them do.

More horrorstories pertaining to punishment in schools, we had a geography teacher called Mr.Porteus, he had a special training shoe (rubber slipper in them days), naughty chappies would be bent over his desk whilst he retreated to the back of the classroom, he then sprinted forward with max velocity whacking the boy's posterior as he passed the desk (no joking, serious), I once had the pleasure. Rulers across the knuckles was normal for this very disjointed, Jaggedone on and over the edge, stroppy bastard!JO ouch!

The argument or the show was about whether the cane should be brought back or not.

But geography teachers are smart. Don't use the cane. Use an item of footwear. Do we ban the plimsoll? And the ruler?

If a teacher is sick and twisted enough they will find a way to inflict pain.

I forgot that word Plimsoll, superb cuppa Earl soup (another story!) You would'nt happen to be John from No Limited Publications would you? He was just as nifty as you, we had a great time laughing at our German Editor!

Not John.

But laughing at a German editor? Have done that before.

Plimsoll. I like that word. It has all the innocence. Before the trainer and designer gear kicks in.

Plimsoll was for primary school.

Alas now no more.

Could this be part of why discipline is breaking down?

Is Plimsoll also a line for measuring depths or something?
The grey cells wither at my age and I am starting to put cups of hot soup in the fridge, certainly a lack of juvenile discipline there, with or without the plimsolls on.

Indeed you are right.

If the two were combined as punishment then it could be really nasty.

Beaten by the geography master. Then keel hauled by the Head of Maths.

The title confused me for a minute.

In this country, capital punishment is the death penalty.

Spanking in schools is referred to as corporal punishment.

Yep, give those kids the electric chair for forgetting their homework or pulling little Jenny's pigtails!

What's the punishment for murder one in Great Britain?

I liked my comments earlier so much that I had to write this:

You probably have to listen to Simon Cowell for an hour.

Punishment for murder one in GB is a world cruise on the QM2 to help you re-adjust.

On the taxpayer of course.

Skoob

On the QM2?

Wouldn't her husband get upset?

Probably.

No corporal punishment for murder, but capital punishment if you badmouth your schoolteacher.

Like being burned at the stake.

I love you guys when you get crazy.

Corporal punishment in schools is outdated and ineffective. It harkens back to the days of the 1-room schoolhouse.

A better alternative for teachers is to inflict psychological torment on students who misbehave. It's much more effective in the long term

Here's an example:

Teahcher: Tiffany, where is your homework?

Tiffany: I didn't do it.

Teacher: Why not?

Tiffany: Because I didn't have time.

Teacher: I'm sure you were quite busy watching Yu-Gi-OH! and stuffing your fat face with Doritos, you disgusting little beast. Get out of my site before I get really angry!

Tiffany runs out of the classroom sobbing

See how easy that was? Tiffany will never be able to eat Doritos or watch Yu-Gi-OH! again. And she'll do her homework from now on, I guarantee it!

That will teach me to write anything with a monster hangover.

Still, some of the loons on the show were sure to be in favour of both forms of punishment.

Earl your Greyey/black humour tickles my very sensitive feet, slightly corny - ed and blistered after running to catch that f..king bus leaving the Tate Urinal extravaganza.
Corporal or Capital they're both corrupt and deserve the same levels of punishment issued by Jamie Oliver (new head of the National, Anti - Obese, Slimlined down to Eradicate Fat F..king Schoolkids, Corporate Ministry, run by those oh so Fatcats and Mr.Oliver, you know, mate, like). Main objective is to apply major corporal punishment on obese, fatties by giving them vegetables for dinner and erecting barb wire fences with border controls a lá Belfast, to stop them exiting the school premises and bee - lining for the local, greasy Fish and Ching shop!

My favourite school punishment is suspension. It's a bit like saying to an adult 'You are no good at your job, so to teach you a lesson take two weeks extra holiday.'

It's not like the old days. There's nothing like ritualised beatings and buggery to build character in young boys living away from home.

Thank you sir, and may I have another? as they used to say just before going to Sandhurst or inventing Rugby.

All the Best

I once got whacked on the arse with a blackboard compass, and the bolt bit hit me on the cocyx so I lost my rag, had a go at the teacher and had to be physically restrained by classmates.

We had another teacher who would periodically swing younger pupils from a 4th floor window by their knees.

They'd never get away with that sort of thing now.

I hated school.

Skoob it is obvious this thread has opened a can of worms and all participants here are abused, misused, discarded, childbeaten, suspended, rebellious ol fart toe rags, hence the superb entertainment value on offer, better than Fools and Horses any day (Del Boy another one of us!) Ouch Mummy put that f..king stick down!

Disagree Earl

You provide much better grist for the forum mill when hungover, always enjoyable.

I think it is "very interesting" (as the shrink would say) to look at the effect punishment had in later life. On that program one old nut was calling for children to be beaten. He was shouting down all his opponents and was talking utter crap.

He was then asked if he had ever been beaten as a child. Frequently was the answer.

QED.

There were some real bastards teaching at my school. And that was just the priests. The lay members of staff were even worse. Particularly the PE department. Fuckers.

My brother is a head teacher. He always wanted to be a teacher. Then he always wanted to be a head teacher. Now I think he'd like to be something else.

Talking of bent Priests, we had a very gay chappy, Reverand Mc Cann as far as I recollect, who loved short-cutting it through the boys showers after PE, invited boys round to the vicarage to light his candles and extra RE (rear end) lessons. Was caught fiddling once and was sent to Boston, UK, out in the sticks to redeem the cabbage pickers. True story by the way, no bullshit! JO (never lit a candle in my life!)

At our school we had Brother McGeady.

We called him "Bullshit Bill". He claimed to be good friends with Pele and Dave Sexton. Possibly the only time those two have been associated together.

Bullshit Bill also claimed to be good friends with the Pope.

However Bullshit Bill ended up being arrested during a raid at the parish house which uncovered certain photos etc.

I wonder if Pele and Dave ever visited him in prison.

I was at a dinner party the other night and a friend told me that as a 7 year-old boy at public school he airmailed a letter to his (ex-pat) parents with a little bag attached containing his tears...................
