Now, what was involved in the strap?
So if the teacher goes, I'm going to go get the strap on, what did that look like?
Well, they had a strap, and it was normally in the drawer of their desk, and then they'd get that out.
It was actually like a piece of leather.
probably about 50 centimetres long, 40 centimetres long.
About, I don't know, seven, eight centimetres thick.
Like a ruler kind of.
Made out of leather.
And you put your hand out.
And I remember there was a kid that got strapped on one of the first days at school when I was five.
And... They made an example of him.
Yeah, for looking up the teacher's dress.
Whacked down on the hand.
Just the one... Just the one strike.
I mean... And you only need to hit one of them.
