the belt was a great thing , the guys used to have bets to see who could get the most, and it kept the riff raff in line .now look at kids - no respect for others especially adults

the parents allowed it because they could belt the kids as well before nanny state banned it .

bring it back .

Our teacher played a game called Beat the belt.

One question wrong you stood up, 2nd question wrong u went to stand at the front of his desk, 3rd question wrong you got belted. How was that good practise when there are clearly children with learning issues who just could not remember stuff as well as others.

Got the belt a few times at school, one teacher demonstrated the force he could use by putting an old thruppenny piece on a desk along the grain of the wood and used the belt to drive the coin into the desk, he was not one to be messed with. The worst part was if a belt missed the hand and wrapped round the wrist.

I got the belt for going over to chat to my friend wilst the teacher was out the room. Totally unfair and rather harsh.

Yup. Once or twice for fighting in playground. Once I moved my hand when he went to belt me then he doubled up the hits. I probably deserved it. Cheeky boy.

I have 3 sons who are all respectful and well behaved.

I have never as much as lifted my hand to any of them and I certainly wouldn’t allow anyone else too.

I got the belt a few times

but the worst was from a nun teacher who thought it was fun to walk up and down the rows of desks and if you didnt notice her behind you and got caught talking she would whack you over the knuckles with not the flat side of a ruler but by the edge of the ruler .

I remember some of the kids who had it happen to them walk about with scars on their knuckles for weeks.

I dont think that would be allowed now ever infact I dont think it was allowed even then but it happened .

I missed the strap at school but unfortunately my mother was a teacher at the time and a bit old school. She kept hers at home and felt it a suitable way to pass on a message.

I got it a few times got to say I preferred it to writing a thousand lines or whatever . Nowadays I feel sorry for the teachers as they’ve a hard battle to control a class of teenagers , not that corporal punishment is the answer the choices now for staying behind after school or suspension are neither wanted or supported by parents or school staff .

agree one good thing about the belt was it was quick and over and done with. as for these days suspending a kid is just giving them a holiday.

i will add that some teachers were a bit ott when handing out punishments but when used properly it was a deterrent and it worked. teachers these days have a hard job and the amount that get assaulted by pupils has grown.

Im too young to have had that experience, but do believe if it was still a thing kids would have far more respect and responsibility than they do. Instead of this disrespectful, spoilt, entitled society they are being brought into.

In the old days it didn’t really matter that you were well behaved. On occasion you may just have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

They used the cane at my school. Used to cane your hand and try their hardest to just catch the tips of your fingers for maximum pain.

Never did me any harm though. Used to piss myself laughing when they missed. Which inevitably resulted in more strikes of the cane.

I got 3 of the belt in high school just before it was banned late 80,s I think. I also I remember a teacher twisting the hair at the back of my neck in P3 think I was 7, she was a really nasty old woman

It was acceptable back then but doesn’t mean it was right.

Same in Aberdeen, teacher belted your left hand you shook your right. We had a league table. But truthfully we knew the score, step badly out of line you got belted. No damage done, but something to be avoided, so you generally kept behaved.

Same lesson as if you step in front of a bus its going to hurt, so dont........

Im all for taking it back, and the extreme end the death penalty for all acid throwers, rapists, terrorists, planned murderers, top end drug dealers, and those gang members that knife people. And above all paedophiles.....a few months of the punishments being meeted out would bring a massive fall in associated crime. Look at the opium wars in China and how the introduction of the death penalty their almost wiped out large scale opium dealing."
you do know it was the British that was feeding the Chineese Opium and thus enslaving the Chineese and when the Chineese Elders tried to stop it the Royal Navey sailed into Hongcong Harbour and threaten to levil it

We had great teachers in our Aberdeen school all who could belt you with some power, another punishment was in gym if you misbehaved you bent and grabbed your ankles or as low as you could and everyone else took off a gym shoe and belted your arse, if you didn't hit hard enough you got hit as well. Ah memories of Kaimhill.

To say children misbehave more now because corporal punishment has been outlawed is a bit of a cop out. I don’t deny there’s been a rise in bad behaviour with teens but corporal punishment is only a small part of that. Violent movies and video games contribute. As do ease of access to pornography at a young age. Add in a rise in single parents and a fracturing of the wider family support network. For family’s who are together there’s the fact that a single income no longer is enough to support a family so both parents have to work. Women now drink more so are not at home as much and lack of a good male role model all contribute. Add to that the rise in gang culture it’s a wonder any of us has good kids but lots of us do because despite these factors lots can cancel out these negatives to bring out well adjusted kids

Belt was banned when i hit 2nd year. Had it a few times. Was a definite deterrent. Especially if the teacher could draw it. After that it was lines. Crap. And a sin bin. Was like a holiday camp then. Nanny state took away the discipline that some needed to focus more on education

All those in favour of bringing the belt back into our classrooms also in favour of the same draconian practice being brought into our workplaces? No. Can’t imagine anyone would be happy to accept being smacked about with an object by the boss for minor misdemeanours while going about your work.

If children of today are not “respectful”, then I highly doubt that it is because they are not being physically abused in their classrooms by those in a position of care and trust

I got the belt for not stopping two other kids fighting. It was a1980 and I was 10 years old. I came home for lunch even though nobody was in and I didn’t have a key. I was in bits and when a neighbour took me in and called my mums work she went to the school and threatened the head master with the police and said he would be charged with assault. The old prick of a head never liked me or any the scheme kids but after this event he seemed to be a little more polite to me.

I had the belt on quite a few occasions, it should have been banned 100 years ago.

Beating someone as punishment is never an answer to any problems.

I find older people have a lot less manners than young people.

Maybe it's inherent?

Antisocial parents raise antisocial kids.... And the cycle continues.

eg. In my school, i respected the older kids. When i was in sixth form, the young'uns would shout back and insult the elders. There's certainly a general change in adolescent liberation.

I got the belt in P2, I think it was more a frighter than anything else as it wasn't sore. I dare say if it wasn't ruled out I would have had it more.

I do have a cheeky side but all in good humour

A teacher attacked me in secondary school, I didn't deserve it at that point but I suppose it was a build up over the years
