The strap, I could live with that. We did the cutting thingy in Standard 4. Teacher wasn't a bad guy and told us it usually happened at the end of each year.
I think that one of the problems with teachers in those days that such a lot of them were returned WW2 vets whom the Govt. offered teacher training as a return to normality. Some of them were bound to be a bit screwed up after being away at war.
When I went to Co-ed High School, I was a chubby early teen suffering from pimples and weight gain, just having found out to my amazement that girls had another purpose in life other than going backwards when dancing. Very self conscious about all this!
The dirty rotten swine S.O.B bar-steward science teacher, calling out our names individually and loudly, asked us what we wanted to take, one of the choices was nutrition. When he got to me, he didn't ask, he said "Aaah, J.....s, you don't look like you need Nutrition" I wished the floor had opened up and swallowed me as everybody laughed.
