The school slipper!

I remember vividly tearfully coming out of the office with a burning bottom having received the due penalty for my crimes from a heartless mistress whose one objective appeared to be to make my bum the temperature of a volcano! Ow!
Did I deserve it? Not at the time, I thought! But looking back and assessing the nuisance I was - yes! Every time!

I have exactly the same remembrances. Bending over desk or over knee and receiving correction to the seat of learning!

@Grvstu Ah yes, “ seat of learning” a popular phrase with my teachers and I am sure they did believe in the effectiveness of chastisement of that place, at least for boys.

Children have brains in funny places! @jackcros

@Grvstu I remember my games master making reference to where I kept my brains, as he wielded his slipper, lol. I had enough brainpower to find a way of escaping his classes.
