"I was never caned, and did not go to one of those authoritarian schools. I feel very sympathetic to the teaching profession. It's a tough existence. However, the total relish which most children enjoy Sir's comeuppance in the rafters with the gorilla makes you wonder how much wisdom there is in authoritarianism."
John Burningham
