Sadistic teachers

[nzoomed]

My teacher used to spank us for no real reason that I can remember, this was at the age of 5 at the end of the 80s.
Thats not something you would get away with today! I wonder if any of the kids complained?

I'm surprised it happened even then - I'd have thought that by then,  we might have learned a bit better than using physical violence against kids.

Yes I agree.
She was an older teacher and must have thought she could get away with it.

I thought to myself that she was a bit out of place at the time to do that to the kids.
She smacked me on the bottom once and I remember her doing it to others in my class on a regular basis.
I never said anything to my parents about it and I wonder if any other complaints made it back to the school.
They were only 5 year old kids first year at school. Today the teacher would get sacked.
