Anyone who advocates corporal punishment is an asshole - regardless of colour, race, or creed - black, brown, pink, aubergine ....arseholes the lot of them. Guest alan w 12 may

May we, first of all, have a consistent spelling of the organ in question please Alan?

A promising teacher was lost to our school system recently. The daughter of a clergyman friend had opted for Diploma in Education at Cambridge at conclusion of her degree. She jacked it in on being called a "fucking stipid old cunt" by a pupil, against whom no action beyond a mild reproof was subsequently taken, during her first teaching practice. I assured my reverend friend, who appreciated the information, that, when I had been Head of Upper School some years before, prior to abolition of corpun by some governmental well-meaners who knew Sweet Fanny Adams about teaching or children, my pupils did not so address their teachers because they knew what the consequences to their bodily comfort would have been liable to be.

Now, Dave & Alan; kindly point out your rationale in accusing me of arseholeness ~ or should that be arseholility?
