When I was seven years old (a pretty tender age I think we can all admit), a boy in my primary school class would often be sent to the principal’s office. Usually, he would be in trouble for swearing when he was frustrated at making a mistake. Maybe he was stressed from being abused at home? Perhaps he had a learning difficulty or was neurodiverse? I don’t think any of the adults responsible for him asked such questions; sending him off for the strap was easier.
