I got the slipper at school

One of our teachers at primary school kept an old slipper of her husbands in the drawer of her desk, so when a member of the class misbehaved they were called to the front to retrieve the slipper from the desk. The teacher would then bring her chair to the front of the class, and sit on it, and receive the slipper from the miscreant, who would then bend over her knee to receive the adjudged punishment from the slipper on their bottom. The punishment being over, the slipper was then returned to the desk by the pupil, who then had the pleasure of sitting for the rest of the lesson on the hard chair while the lesson continued!
Happened to me several times with that particular teacher and let me tell you it did me no harm whatever!

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.
