One of my teachers backhanded me across a desk, I was around 9 or 10,burst my nose, sent me to the school nurse, must have shocked him as he realised he had reacted a bit over the top, came to my house/slum that night to apologise, my mam said it was OK as I must have deserved it ?
However there were benefits to being a little tramp ? it came out years later he was a serial pedophile, taught in new zealand and Canada, moved around from school to school. In my school he had molested at least three boys, two of whom have attempted suicide in adult life.
