I Love To Experience Traditional Schoolboy Corporal Punishment
The school I attended was a typical secondary modern, built in the late 50s to accomodate about 800 pupils, by the time i left in 1974 it had over 1800 pupils attending!
Many teachers used the slipper on the boys in the classroom and we had a lower school headmaster who dealt out the slipper or cane on a twice daily basis — after morning assembly and again after the lunch break. In the first year i was in his form, and you would normally see about 4 - 8 lads lined up in his classroom awaiting their (usually) painful fate.
The PE department were the worst (or best) for dealing out whackings. Virtually any transgression meant a warmed up backside. This was usually via a plimsoll, but for more major transgressions they had a weapon called a stoolball bat which looked like a paddle (as favoured in USA) and wow did it hurt!
On about the third day of my new senior school I saw Mr Peters9the Lower school Head) use the slipper. It was so different from my junior school days, so much more dramatic. The first time we saw the punishment there was almost a collective intake of breath from the entire class. As we left Mr Peters classroom for our first lesson of the day there was a lot of chatter in the corridor. The main subject being discussed by the girls was whether or not their fair sex was going to be subjected to public slipperings. There was a sense of panic in their voices. I have to admit I viewed that first whacking with a mixture of terror and gratification. Later that day the information filtered down from the older girls, that girls did not get public slipperings from Mr Peters, but instead went to the headmistress for the cane. Some girls were quite put out by the fact that they could actually receive cp, for some at their previous junior schools cp was not used and it was something of a big shock to them. At first I couldn't understand why girls got the cane and boys got the slipper. I few days later I found out how wrong I was, as Mr peters brought out the cane for some boys. The truth was that the slipper was for misdemeanours — the sort of thing that girls were given a warning for or detention or lines. But as boys committed so many of these type of offences it was more expedient to smack their bums. If a girl was sent to the head it had to be a major offence which was basically fighting, stealing, playing truant or smoking. However some male teachers did threaten girls with the slipper during lessons, so they were never 100 per cent sure whether it would happen to them.
