Or they could call your father…

A spanking forum posted details a while back of a clipping from “The Sun” on 26 October 1979.
Books were burned in a school playing field as angry pupils demonstrated over chilly classrooms. The children thought headmaster, John Coatman, was being miserly with the central heating while he kept an electric fire burning in his study.
After the protest, two girls were caned, four prefects demoted and the boy who set fire to the books bonfire was sent home. Another 50 pupils at Churchill Secondary Modern, Westerham, Kent, were given detention.
That Mr Coatman practiced corporal punishment seems to be confirmed by a posting on a popular school reminiscences board by an Annie Mellors, who left in 1982:
IM SURE IM RIGHT IN SAYING THAT DETENTION, (FACING THE WALL OUTSIDE MR COATMANS OFFICE) WAS NORMALLY GIVEN TO ME, MY SISTER, DEBBIE CLARKE, AMANDA MOTT AND THE TRIPLETS…
IT WAS HILARIOUS UNTIL WE WERE THREATENED WITH THE CANE OR WORSE “IM CALLING YOUR PARENTS”
‘Worse’?!

Oh Abel, I’m sure it would take you a mere second to make the “I’m calling your parents” a worse scenario than the getting the cane at school… in fact didn’t you do just that in one of your recent short stories?
Would be interesting though. If you’d get the same number of strokes, delivered with the same severity, what would be worse? Getting the cane at school or at home? I could think of arguments for both sides.
Ah well, I guess we’ll never know anyway (luckily!).
”I’m calling your parents…” Shudder. Scariest words that a teacher can say to you noweverdays…
After the protest, two girls were caned… and the boy who set fire to the books bonfire was sent home.
He should have been caned and then sent home: sexism at work again.
