I Received Corporal Punishment At School

Did anyone else get their legs smacked at school? It was something that happened frequently at my girls' school. It wasn't as bad as a proper thrashing but the the teachers smacked hard and it hurt a great deal. It was also embarrassing to be walking around with red hand prints on your thighs.

Yes, several times in primary school and a few times in secondary.

What sort of things earned you smacked legs?

@Oldmanjimbo: Just general misbehaviour. The same sort of things other teachers would smack our bottoms or slipper us for.

How many smacks would you receive?

@Oldmanjimbo: It varied but it was quite a lot.
