I wonder why no one gave them away. I’m sure there were witnesses.Radianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08128767609842309541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436539161202609679.post-40023061800281991082019-07-25T14:40:00.551+01:002019-07-25T14:40:00.551+01:00I had at least two "wrongfully punished"...I had at least two "wrongfully punished" experiences in secondary school, both caused by unknown classmates. The first was when someone called our Mathematics teacher "Shanko" - a code word for a short person that could serve as banter among friends but also sound disrespectful to an older person. He was of small stature. He turned to face the class and asked for who said the word, no one owned up. The second was similar. Our Biology was going about her teaching business when someone threw a folded paper from the back of the class in her direction. Again, she asked for who did it but the culprit and others around him kept mute.<br /><br />On both occasions, we were all led out of the class to kneel down under the scorching sun and on the hot sand downstairs. All the male teachers who were skilled with the use of the cane were summoned. You can guess what happened next. While some students cried, some others rained curses on whoever was responsible for both acts. We served different kinds of punishment for the rest of the day.Kingstonnoreply@blogger.com
