What were school punishments like in the 20th century in the UK?

The 20th century saw many changes in school punishments and the laws relating to them. At the start of the century corporal punishment was the norm for even minor infractions of rules in both state and private education. Canes, belts and bats were used indiscriminately. The phrase "six of the best" was perhaps the best known. This was six stokes of a cane or belt, usually delivered to the buttocks. Minor infractions brought a rap on the knuckles with the edge of a ruler. Canes were regularly used on the palms of the hands also. Being made to stand all day. Run until the person collapsed or fainted. Practically anything that caused distress but left no permanent physical injury was allowed. Nor were teachers reprimanded for any unusual punishments given. Being made to stand outside, in all weathers, was a minor sentence meted out. These were considered normal and were not eased until the late 1960s when legislation was introduced to curb excesses and eventually to ban corporal punishment completely.

A year ends in 99 every century?

There is a year that ends in 99 in every century. It is the second last year of the century. So the 20th century ran from 1901 to 2000. What causes a little confusion is when we talk about something like the 1900s. They ran from 1900 to 1999, but that is not the same as the 20th century.
