It strikes me that most of the disruption on the streets around me are brought about by teenage girls. Maybe they would best benefit from a dose of cane at school.

Your post reminds me of Mrs. Knee Trembler.

I'm sure some of them would indeed benefit from it. Alas it is no longer possible (sigh).

In the few quiet moments that I have nowadays I think about Mrs. Knee-Trembler. Did she really have a £4000 bill for photocopying? Why has her Yahoo Group closed?

Could she be the Katherine Embling who played 2nd. horn in an unnamed orchestra under the baton of James Ross last February in Oxford?
