Here's an extract from a Daily Telegraph article dated 13 May, 1996:
"Corporal punishment was outlawed in state schools by the 1986 Children's Act and is also banned by the European Court of Human Rights. Isis, the body which represents mainstream fee-paying schools, said only St James's Independent School for Boys in London, retained the practice."

Did St James still beat children in 1996?
YES.... in interviews with Debenham published in the independent and Telegraph newspapers in 1996 ...he talks a lot about the need for love....but that he still beats the crap out of the kids if they turn out not to be so lovable after all!
PS: "Hand of Love, hand of discipline" Does anyone (other than SES)seriously buy all that crap with the potter analogy? Its so purile...its got that sort of 'Middle England' mentality - so beloved of the Daily Mail, but written for the the average Sun reader.

By beat I mean 'cane' - sorry, I used the term 'beat' because that is the term Debenham always used. So yes, with regard to my response to questions raised about 1996 Im talking about what the law would term corporal punishment.
