Sir Iain told how he had been inspired by the move after visiting schools in the US. He also recommended a technique - picked up at a school in New York - in which pupils gather in a circle and applaud a classmate. "The headteacher would say 'John, we appreciate you', and everyone cheers John," he said. "It is getting that positive relationship where children can relax and think 'Somebody believes in me'."

It never did me any harm.

Hey Dermot!

Blimey, I was beaten with much worse things than rulers by teachers when I was at school.
And I have to say it did me no lasting harm either.
