School corporal punishment in the UK was outlawed in state-run schools in 1986, but not in private schools until 1998 (England and Wales), 2000 (Scotland) and 2003 (Northern Ireland).

  1. Not sure the teachers listened fully when I was in school in the 90’s ……… PE teachers were happy to give you a solid punch in the arm for forgetting your gear. Or the old beauty of getting lifted by your locks.

    No canes etc but some teachers would still raise a hand.

  2. Cool, but when do you think it will be outlawed for unionist politicians in Westminster? And, more to the point, roughly how many Translink vehicles can we expect to be out of action due to these “legitimate concerns”?
