they banned spankings at school here long ago... but the idea of spanking someone with a shoe at school is just ludicrous... i understand canes or paddles... but a shoe.... hilarious

Going by your age group, you were ahead of me in school, but clearly we both attended school in the days when corporal punishment was a standard practice. I missed out on the slipper entirely, but I was not spared various other methods. I have clear memories when I was in Convent school of being smacked by Nuns on the back of bare legs. As I got older, I got the board ruler on the backside, but it was when I went to high school, a private (i.e. fee paying) Catholic boys school, that I was caned and quite a few times.

Having grown up in the era when schools and parents administered cp, I accepted it as the consequence for my misbehaviour and, I'm happy to admit, I did misbehave sometimes. Like you, it did me no harm at all (except maybe wounding my pride and giving me a sore bottom...lol), and in fact, I consider it taught me (eventually) the principles of accountability and responsibility.

When I was at school, everyone got the slipper at some time.

The PE plimsoll was a regular implement when i was a housemaster in Zimbabwe

Sounds like you deserved it and actually learned to like and accept it

{@abbeyp] i agree it never did any harm what so ever 😆lol except to yor backside initially

Regularly whacked by our housemaster. Slipper standard punishment.

People who grow up with a fetish for reliving and obsessing about school beatings were harmed.
Even if they don’t want to admit it. Adults who get off on the idea of beating children are sick. 😳

Yes and the ruler, learned more in those classes than later on when it was stopped

Yep i too got either the slipper or th cane

A lovely narrative thank you... I remember well such scenes
