Caught out, Jo?

Our school was very much old school, a Victorian building with traditional wooden desks with an inkwell for your fountain pen as by the age of Nine we had to jolly well master not just joined up writing but using an ink pen for all lessons involving writing, taking responsibility to fill them up by ourselves.
There were implements for your teacher to correct you with although going to the Head Teacher for the Paddle or Cane was more regular but having something set out maybe having to stand with your hands on your head so all the other children knew you were gonna get punished was very common place to shame you in front of the class.
