Rowlf, you took the words right out of my mouth.
Way back then the classes were more disciplined and there was less disruption. Which meant that our learning had a level of continuity that perhaps is a little lacking today.
Corporal punishment meant that you were made aware that your actions had consequences.....and if you do not learn that early then you are not going to do very well in your life.
