I Got Slippered At School

I see some girls at a school in Didsbury UK are complaining about being forced to remove their make-up.

When I was at school we weren't allowed to wear make-up either. Those of us who did not only got told to remove it, we got the slipper or, in cases of repeated offences, the cane as well.

Almost every day several girls, often myself included, would be slippered for wearing make-up or jewellery at school.

@ReggieFane. I was speaking to a woman who taught in Singapore for a while. She said the boys tended to be well behaved but girls, who are exempt from the cane, were out of control. She was regularly sworn at, spat at, punched and kicked by girls in school. In the end she just gave up and returned to the UK. She now works in what is considered a "bad school" where the boys are no worse behaved, the girls are much better behaved and she feels a lot safer than she did in Singapore.
