#2 DIY'ers, buy your iron rods at either Home Depot or Lowe's, 10-foot lengths of 5/8" rebar give you the most for the buck, be sure to bring a hacksaw to cut them into handy lengths in the parking lot, before you drive back to the seminary. If your hands are delicate, add foam pipe insulation for hand grips & fasten with duct tape. Disciplinarians should note that the only difference between fainting and dying is that fainters wake up eventually...

#4 (from the Bulwar-Lytton bad writing contest)

Headmaster Hughes loved the popular misconception that he was a noble reformer and liberalizer of his public school, and he knew that none of his fat-cheeked little charges would dispute the fact, being terrified to incontinence at the thought of vicious canings during his insane rages, the pleasant "thwack thwack" driving him to states of total excitement.

It is also noteworthy that the great fictional character "Flashman", by George MacDonald Fraser, was the further adventures of the villain in "Tom Brown's School Days". One of the best historical novels ever written, in the form of an autobiography of Flashman himself, the luckiest cheat, braggart, scoundrel, swine, lecher, and coward to ever win every commendation offered by the British Empire at its peak.

A must for any military history buff.

#5 Teach them to steal and beat them when they fail? How very Oliver Twist. (Not the musical version, mind you. Allan forbid!)
