@Besoeker thatā€™s dreadful! Iā€™m glad that sort of treatment does not go on today, though I do think schools have not got it right yet. Discipline does not require violence

But it fixed the problem at a stroke.

No it doesnā€™t .
Parants should teach children how to behave teachers should educate them in subjects they need to learn .
However rude disruptive children make it difficult for any child in the class to learn .

Mathematics was the easiest, you just had to apply the rules: Theorems, Formulas etc., that never changed.

History was more interesting, but lots stuff to remember, names & dates ā€¦

I disliked school immensely but Economic History actually made sense.

Instead of random events in history unrelated to other events it put them in context and provided a timeline and a reason for why things happened when they did.

Physics also made sense but Chemistry less so, adding one colourless liquid to another colourless liquid to make a third colourless liquid didnā€™t capture the imagination (however throwing all the chemicals into the sink at once at the end of the lesson did add a bit of excitement to the proceedings)
