Letter: My demon headmaster

Letter: The Star makes mention of "sadistic headteachers" of the past.

Certainly in the early 1950s I had the misfortune to encounter headteachers who were definitely sadistic, cruel, perverted and probably psychotic, attacking children for no reason other than they took a dislike to them.

Today these men would serve time for their cruelty, and perverted sexual assaults on children in their care.

So much for the "good old days".

In the 1950s such behaviour was regarded as "normal" and any child who complained would be severely beaten by teachers and parents.
