The Giant at the Front: Young Teachers and Corporal Punishment in Inter-War Elementary Schools.

Peer reviewed

Gardner, Philip – History of Education, 1996

Relies on students' and teachers' accounts to reveal a more accurate account of classroom life in England (circa 1920-39) than that of official documents. Suggests that corporal punishment was extensive and brutal. Includes many verbatim accounts of teachers' and students' reactions to this treatment. (MJP)
