Smacked legs

When my mum was at school both boys and girls got smacked on the legs, anyone remember it happening? Must have stung!

@jackcros Some teacher smacked legs, other smacked bottoms. In junior school, the slipper across our bottoms became the usual method.

@Sharon it was the same in my junior school with the slipper taking over from leg smacking. We were also introduced to the cane for serious offences from age 9

@jackcros That's much as it was for us. Initially the ruler then the slipper being introduced as we got older. I don't know the minimum age we could get the cane, I suppose 9 was a possibility, but I first got it aged ten. That stung a lot but I found it was relatively mild when I first got in in secondary school.
