    MY kids were totally horrified that teachers were allowed to dish out physical punishments at school.....when I told them my youngest got all tearful and put his hand around my shoulder to comfort me as though I had been scarred for life....bless him.....I was a good girl though:A

    Snap, I told DS that a teacher had slapped me for swinging on my chair (does seem a little extreme now) and he asked me what my parents had done about it. when I said nothing as that kind of thing happened then he was horrified!

    Ooh I remember teachers lobbing blackboard dusters

    Oh yep - I missed the era of actual physical punishments but there were quite a few flying dusters!

    Skint - I got told off for swinging on my chair when I was about five.. teacher told me to put it down on the ground properly so I did.. right on her foot :eek::rotfl:

    Nothing wrong with that. I got home and got straight into my PJs. Nothing beats PJs and a duvet while watching TV.
