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. My friend was there a lot more recently than 1970. I don't know when caning girls stopped in Singapore schools. The problems were caused by girls flaunting their immunity. It encourages them to misbehave. That problem doesn't exist in the UK school she teaches in now because boys and girls are treated alike.
