This.
Every time people say the level of discipline in Matilda is unfeasible I think of the anecdote in
[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<i<boy</i>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

This.
Every time people say the level of discipline in Matilda is unfeasible I think of the anecdote in <i<Boy</i> about the kid who got caned until he bled by a teacher, lying on a sofa, while the teacher was simultaneously filling his pipe.

I think <i>Matilda</i> makes a whole lot more sense if you read <i>Boy</i> and see what Roald Dahl's own teachers were like when it came to discipline. xD

I seem to recall reading an extract from Boy for school in which he was caned and such, so it does make a lot of sense that he'd choose to write teachers like this.

There's at least two instances of him being caned in Boy. I think Matilda is just his own school experiences turned up to eleven.
