I Received Corporal Punishment At School

when I was at school in a private Prep school in the 50's corporal punishment was widely used by the head and teachers. It was not so much a question of while attending school if you would get your bottom whacked but how soon each term would you get it. It was also a question of how many times you would each term find yourself bending over to have your bare bottom slippered or caned. It was part of school life. You went to school.not so much afraid, but wondering whose bottom was going to be whacked that day for something they did the day before...or worse still would you get a qhacking today.

When I was at school we kept a "slipper chart" in the first couple of years where we recorded who got what and when. We also marked the first slippering of the week - which usually occurred sometime Monday morning. ;)

My sixth form maths. group re-introduced it because our maths. teacher was never slow to deploy his slipper.
