2/4. Bill Whiteford explores the ever-changing world of Scottish secondary schools, from the post-war period to the present day. Schools are more than just somewhere children are sent to learn, they have a social role, with responsibility for pastoral care, guidance and discipline. Bill talks to teachers and pupils about banning the belt, noisy classrooms and what makes a child's schooldays happy ones.
