I Received Corporal Punishment At School

Aged 9. Talking with three other boys while waiting for a gym class. Teacher told us to report to him when we were changed, which meant our bottoms were protected just by very flimsy cotton shorts. Rest of the class lined up to watch. I went first. "Touch your toes!" Two hard whacks, then joined the rest of the class, fighting back my tears, to watch the other three get it. A big red rash on my bum when I examined it afterwards.

Sometimes I wonder if PE Teachers in the 1950s-60s were trained in the slipper's / plimsoll's use as part of their teacher-training course. Some do seem to have been excessively slipper-happy.
