Did anyone else get their bums smacked at primary school? At my school all girls and boys were put over the headmasters knee and smacked hard usually untill they cried if they were very naughty, as I was twice. Older boys in the last two years got the slipper but girls right up to the last year were smacked over sirs knee, and often with their skirt pulled up and their knickers pulled right down. This was late 70’s early 80’s anyone else? and was this unusual?

In answer to your question, Judith, I believe that yes, it was probably unusual for girls to spanked OTK with their knickers down at primary school in the late 70s / early 80s. I was at primary school in the late 70s and – this is the honest-to-God truth – I can’t remember it ever happening. Do I have to name my school or will you take my word for it? You see, when your experience differs from that of most (wo)men on the board sometimes people are hesitant to believe you.

Judith,

Many thanks for the pork pies.

Any chance of a few sausages and a couple of lamb chops to go with them?

people only dont believe you when you say things like
I HAD MY GREEN KNICKERS PULLED DOWN AND HE SMACKED MY BARE BOTTOM 50 TIMES WITH HIS BIG HANDS and things of that ilk.
The fact that your school did not use CP much in the early 80s is quite common and I believe you as I’m sure a lot of others do too.

Hold on a minute, My primary school headmaster smacked pupils that wasn’t unusual, Mostly boys as lets face it girls don’t tend to behave as badly as boy and that usually means they are never punished, but I do remember one incident were a girl was punished.

Why is this so strange?

John,

Primary Heads smacking (and even caning) children in the late 70s and early 80s wasn’t unusual.

But fakes, frauds and gender benders on Internet CP forums are very easy to spot.

Judith is a classic case – his posting should be framed as perfect an example of how not to spin a CP yarn.

Dear old Fran did a MUCH better job, God bless him!

I was given four whacks on my bottom with a wooden ruler from my 3rd Grade teacher Mrs Kamer at Boronia Park Publice School, Sydney Australia in 1981.
My 6th grade teacher Mr Davis brought me to the front of the class at Werrington Public school in 1984 and I received 3 whacks with a meter ruler on my bottom.
Girls were also whacked on the bottom by Mr Davis but he usually punished them at the start of break times, I would have hated to wait that time for my whacking. He was one of those teachers who took great pleasure in whacking children.
Even the school headmaster sent pupils to Mr Davis for a whacking.

At my primary school it was not unknown for children to be smacked or caned although only once can I remember it being a girl – and a pretty horrible example at that. She had written rude things on the wall of the girls toilet and was reputedly slippered for it.

The Headmaster would sometimes pick on someone talking in assembly (invariably male and one of the known “naughties” at that), have them bend over, hands on knees, for a couple of pretty hard smacks. Silence in the hall invariably followed.

I went to a strict primary school in the 1950’s namely St Stephen’s School, Worcester. There were two men teachers besides the headmaster, and several women. I was spanked once by Mr Jackson just for looking in through a window where he was working during a break period. It was over his knee and on top of the trousers. It wasn’t at all hard and didn’t sting. The strictest teacher was Miss Walsh who dealt with bad behaviour by slapping the backs of the legs; boys and girls. I think she was stricter with the girls because she lifted their skirts and slapped the backs of the bare thighs all the way up to the top. The boys just got slapped below the hem of their short trousers. We didn’t have to do much wrong to be dealt with like this; not standing still immediately the whistle was blown to signal the end of break was enough. Another teacher, Miss Barrs used to put the pupils over her knee and again the girls had their skirts lifted and were spanked across their knickers. The boys were put over her knee and spanked on top of their trousers.
I used to sit at the frony of Miss Barr’s class and can remember enjoying seeing the girls go over her knee for a spanking. It wasn’t really a conscious sexual experience because I didn’t know anything about sex until I moved schools at the age of 11. I just found it fascinating. Whether this did lead to a life-long interest in adult discipline I can only guess that it may have.

I went to a mixed sex infants school in Southend-on-sea, Essex in the 1960s and early 1970s and corporal punishment was used although fairly rarely. Older boys got the cane or the slipper. I can’t remember if girls were caned – they were certainly slippered. There were no cases of removal of clothing during caning. I was only smacked once across my bum with the teachers’ bare hand when I was very young for doing something that I did not even understand I was not supposed to be doing (scrawling on some paper in an art lesson). I don’t think I deserved it but I never again got corporal punishment either at infants school or secondary school so I think I was quite lucky overall !!!

Aha! Good Catholic schools with a fine tradition of “suffer little children” lol

I remember Tommy More’s as having a bit of a reputation. I knew a couple of boys from there who were what I would have considered “good kids” and they managed to be caned several times. I was a royal pain in the ass and avoided it at Southend High…so no justice in this life.

The Catholic girls’ convent school (St Bernadette’s??)was fun. Their tennis courts were in the middle of a square – we used to go watch them playing tennis in their knickers! No idea if they were whacked though as never had the bottle to ask. I do know that Southend High for Girls didn’t but Dowsett High (the girls’ secondary modern next door) did.

Miss Fitzsimons One pupil in my year was to be caned by Fitzie and when asked to put out each hand she had both arms in plaster, then asked to bend over she had a lot of undergarments on, Fitzie got madder & madder.

Miss Fitzsimmons The old headmistress who used to measure your skirts with a ruler to see they weren’t too much above the knee as per the school regs, and used the cane when we were found smoking. If only she knew that we used to roll up our skirts by the waistbands till we had 30″ waists in order to look fashionable on the way home!

Miss Fitzsimmons Always wore that blue check suit with the velvet collar. Never ever remember seeing her in anythihg else. Very cold scarey lady. Myself and Lynn Stone got the cane from her once for bunking school. Only time she seemed to show any emotion. (pleasure)

Miss Fitzsimmons I remember the cane for bunking off, smoking or fighting but knowing her there were other things too. Strange woman.

Another thing…I thought it really unfair that we could be caned and the “posh lot” next door were untouchable!!

Yes. There were certainly some teachers you didn’t muck around too much with at Tommy More’s if you wanted to avoid the cane. The girls catholic school was (and indeed still is) St. Bernards – not St. Bernadettes. I’m not sure if St. Bernards girls were caned. Any old St. Bernards girls out there care to enlighten us ?

You are right; it was St Bernards (unkind since not all of them were dogs…). I knew a couple of Dowsett girls quite well and they told me that they only ever got the cane on the hand but that it hurt like mad.

Wentworth High, later becoming Cecil Jones, used to allow girls to be slippered as I recall. I dont know about Belfairs, Eastwood or the other schools in the area.

This was late 70’s early 80’s anyone else? and was this unusual?
I attended primary school in Scotland in th 1960’s. The tawse (referred to as “the belt” by teachers and pupils alike was commonly used but not until primary 4 (age 7) and above and given across the hands.

Before then, teachers would sometimes a wooden ruler to pupils’ hands but used to threaten misbehaviour with a smacked bottom. I seem to remember seeing classmates getting an odd slap on the bottom or back of the legs in Primary 1-3 but the most vivid experinece I have is seeing the first “formal” spanking in P3. My parents never spanked but gave one or two slaps to head/body/bottom or legs or to whatever part they could hit.

Anyway, I was in a queue of 3 or 4 presenting my work in class to our teacher Miss R – she was quite matronly I thought was in her 50’s but was probably much younger. She was quite mold mannered and hardly ever shouted at the class – a rare quality in teachers in 1962.

I was next in line to have ny work examined and as Miss R took my jotter for inspection she became aware of some children in the corrider outside the class. If my memory serves me it was P1 and P2 breaking up for lunch which they did about 10-15 minutes before the rest of the school so that the youngest children could be dealt with first.

A boy in my class who had either left to go to the toilet, or to give deliver a message to another teacher from Miss R, for some reason ran up the corridor past our classroom door which was still open.

Miss R caught sight of him as she turned to take my jotter from me. She rushed out of the classroom and called my friend back to class. When he returned I don’t think he knew what he did wrong but Miss R took him by the arm and led him back to her desk. She gently nudged me to one side and then sat down in her chair and was telling the class that running in the corridor was strictly forbidden.

Without any hesitation she sat down and promptly put my friend over her knee. Apart from reading teh Dandy or the Beano, I had never seen this punishment before and was shocked and at the same time excited at witnessing my first spanking – or smacking as we commonly referred to it.

The victim wore black regulation shorts which stretched across his bottom and Miss R soon got to work slapping his bottom with great gusto. His bottom was almost at my eye level but I soon stepped back a yard or so as his legs began to kock and squirmed to to get off her lap.

the spanking seemed to go on for ages but it was probably only a few slaps – I do remember the victim trying to put his hands behing to cover his bottom but these were easily brushed aside.

After the tearful vicitm was released. Miss r announced that any misbehaviour or poor work in future would be dealt with in the same way. She then picked up my jotter to examine my work and I was terrified that she would find fault and I would find myself across her knees as well. This did not happen either that day or for the rest of term – in fact, I do not remember anyone receiving another spanking from Miss R or any other punishment for the remainder of that term.

I went to two primary schools both Catholic, in the first one punishment was with the ruler on the backs of the hands or long socks taken down and (we all wore shorts) and punished on the back of legs, some teachers even broke the rulers they hit so hard.
I was a bit slow at maths and I was given extre lession by the headmaster, after a while I was hand slapped on my bottom when I go things wrong I remember when I had to recite my times table getting spanked nearly every answer in the end he told me that next time I will take your pants down if you get it wrong, that did not happen. A few weeks later they found that my eye sight was not very good and I needed glasses and that’s why I got thing wrong.
The other primery school the slipper and cane were both used the cane on hands or bottom no removing of clothing, the slipper the same, but one teacher use to lift up your shorts as high as he could and slipper you on the thighs, now that did hurt I can remember having that done three times to me.

The headmaster at my primary school used to bend boys over his knee pull their trousers tight by
pulling the waistband and tan our backsides hard. For serious offences he would use a short strap
which was unbearable.
One of my most unforgetful and painful tannings happened when myself and three other boys started
flicking paint at each other,things got out of hand and the paint was everywhere,our teacher was
furious and she went to report the incident to the headmaster.
A couple of minutes later the headmaster entered our classroom strap in hand and ordered myself and my
partners in crime to the front of the class.
One by one we were all bent over his knee and our backsides were tanned very hard,we all howled and
sobbed but the headmaster carried on tanning us till he deceided that a lesson had been learnt
The rest of the class were certainly well behaved for a long time after that

<div style=”width:100%;background-image:url(“/realm/A_L_123/A_L_trg.gif”);”>Hello Brenda and sc545474,

As far as I recall neither of you has contributed here before, at least not under those pseudonyms. May I therefore please say a regrettably somewhat late personal welcome to the Forum to both of you.

Brenda, you may care to note two other references here to punishments at Werrington Public School, NSW, Australia in the period you were there. Nathan, who made the contribution referring to the school and Mr Davis in the thread above on November 12 2003, 8:48 PM also described here a punishment he received from a female teacher in 1983, six strokes of a ruler on the bottom.

In this contribution someone using the pseudonym N.D. who may be Nathan, but possibly isn’t as there are some differences in their respective recollections of how things were done, describes getting five strokes of a metre ruler on the bottom from what is presumably Mr Davis in 1984.

Did you by any chance have personal experience of Mr Davis’s metre ruler? Both Nathan and N.D. say that he used it on girls but they differ slightly as to how. Nathan says in the thread above that girls were generally punished (presumably in private) at the start of break time, whereas in the contribution I link above N.D., if he is indeed referring to Mr Davis, says they got it in front of the class like boys.

And, after a little more checking, a brief further comment in an effort at clarification. The two contributions I link above are to be found in the Corporal Punishment Survey thread. In that thread there are contributions by N.D., Nathan, and Nathan Donnelly who are I think almost certainly all one person, who seems to have had rather more than his fair share of SCP. My confusion arises from the fact that strictly on the chronological data given the contributor seems to have either been at Boronia Park and Werrington schools at the same time, or has gone from one to the other and back again in very short order. However, in fairness to Nathan, it may be that the passage of time and its well known effects on memory, especially of dates, may have introduced both that effect and the differing accounts of Mr Davis’s CP practises.

sc545474, an interesting contribution. It would be useful to know if this was in the UK, and if so approximately where (no need to be specific, just a region) and, hopefully less approximately, when.

In the UK when SCP was legal primary school teachers (or in my day infant and junior school teachers) seem to have had by far the widest repertoire of application methods and while I can’t recall a previous case of boys over the knee and the strap on the bottom I’m sure it happened. Clothing adjustment to facilitate CP, such as the manipulation of trouser tightness you describe, was by no means unusual. When I was a little lad boys wore shorts to school and some lady teachers had a predilection for a rather lower target area, in which case the often considerable adjustment was from the opposite end of the trousers. </div>

The school I went to from 1953 to 1961 catered for boys from the age of 7 through to 15 so the lower two classes were in fact within the range normally considered to be primary.
Class 1 and 2 covered 2 years each and the whole school had only 200 pupils.

The same punishment structure applied as far as I can remember through out the school .

Mrs R the class one teacher rarely punished and if so it was the ruller on the hand but in class 2 we were taught by Miss O who used a wooden pencil case on boys bottoms.

Serious misbehavior was dealt with my Mr B the headteacher who used the cane. Its difficult to remember whether there was any increase in this punishment through the whole school but as far as I can understand other schools in the area around this part of Suffolk were quite similar.

It’s great to hear from you!

You said above:

An unusual implement for SCP but, as I noted when commenting to sc545474 above, teachers of primary age children do seem to have had a very wide range of delivery methods. In my experience female teachers displayed particular ingenuity in this respect.

I wonder if the pencil case in question was the type I recall from my own primary (junior) school days a mere four years earlier than yours. A wooden box around 10 to 12 inches long, perhaps 2 inches wide and 1 inch to 1½ inches high with a full length slide-out wooden lid?

If so I bet that hurt if wielded with any determination, especially if it contained a goodly collection of pencils to assist the impact! Did the recipient have to bend over, and how many whacks did Miss O customarily administer?</div>

The school i attended was in Lancashire,the year was around 1965-66.Lady teachers normally administered
discipline to both boys & girls,with the unfortunate recipient over their knee,or by leg slapping
which the girls seemed to receive more than boys
The head only seemed to get involved for more serious breaching of rules,paint flicking was obviously
in that criteria

KK, your picture brings with it a sudden wave of nostalgia!

I can almost smell the school dinners, the polish used on the wood block floors and the carbolic soap in the cloakroom (some distance from the toilets, which were outdoors and froze in the winter).

EAL,

It is rare that we disagree but I do not accept square-edged pencil cases of indeterminant and likely variable weight are ever likely to be vaguely suitable as spanking implements.

Pencils should never be subject to shock least the leads break.

We should not discuss the use of machine guns by nine year olds, here.

<div style=”width:100%;background-image:url(“/realm/A_L_123/A_L_trg.gif”);”>Hello KK,

I despaired when I saw that. By coincidence I was helping to supervise two 9 year old girls at a climbing wall yesterday. Who in their right mind would hand a loaded Uzi set on full auto, the ultimate spray lead everywhere weapon, pretty uncontrollable even in expert hands, to a little child like that? But apparently it’s quite normal in Arizona. If the child is over 8 and accompanied by parents gun ranges will usually allow them to fire automatic weapons. An acquaintance who knows about these things tells me that as recently as 1960 it was legal in Arizona for anyone over 14 to carry any type of loaded firearm, automatic or otherwise, in public provided it was in full view, so clearly some sort of collective madness operates in the region.

An on a happier note, you say:

Well I agree about the pencils. However I would point out that the pencil case used by Miss O would not be of indeterminate and likely variable weight. She would have known exactly how heavy it was! I submit that from memory the wooden pencil cases around in my youth would have been quite suitable as paddles for the chastisement of smaller children. Think a short length of 2 inch by 1 inch to 1½ inch board, but hollowed out inside and thus suitably lightened.

I agree that square edges are not ideal in such an implement, but possibly the item wielded by Miss O had been around a bit and had the squareness of its edges relieved by normal day to day in-use contact with hard surfaces such as desks.

We must await the comments which hopefully Batfinch will make on the issue, but my guess is that it stung a bit!</div>

Did anyone else get their bums smacked at primary school? At my school all girls and boys were put over the headmasters knee and smacked hard usually untill they cried if they were very naughty, as I was twice. Older boys in the last two years got the slipper but girls right up to the last year were smacked over sirs knee, and often with their skirt pulled up and their knickers pulled right down. This was late 70’s early 80’s anyone else? and was this unusual?

The area i was educated was Lancashire and attended primary school in the sixties.Teachers at my school
were all female apart from the head,they usually administered the punishments,but for serious offences
they sent boys to the headmaster,i dont recall any girl being sent to him although i did hear one or
two being threatened with it
Punishments were mostly administered over the teachers knee,or the slapping of legs was popular as well
mostly for the girls.I think all of our class experienced one of the above types of discipline in their
time at this school,thats the way it was in those days,plus the good hidings we received at home too

I can add very little its over 50 years ago.I never felt the pencil case myself so I only know what other boys said.

Miss O and Mr P the teacher who taught the boys from 14-15 swapped lessons for English and Maths so Miss O also used the pencil case on the eldest boys in the school.

By the way it was a church school and today is a mixed primary school it opened in 1840 I understand.

<div style=”width:100%;background-image:url(“/realm/A_L_123/A_L_trg.gif”);”>Hello sc545474,

Thank you for providing details of the region and period in which the primary school CP you discussed above took place. I think it was fairly typical throughout a fairly long period for primary schools to have predominantly female teachers, with a more even balance of the sexes at headship level.

It also seems to have been fairly typical for more boys than girls to get into ‘serious’ trouble involving a visit to the headmaster or headmistress for punishment. However in the past an occasional correspondent has averred that in their experience girls were as naughty as boys. That certainly wasn’t the case back in the late 1940s and early 1950s at my primary (or as it was then infant and junior) school. Classroom CP of various flavours was pretty common from around age 7 up but there were more incidents involving boys than girls. Overall I would think most children in that school experienced SCP of some sort while they were there, but most boys would experience it more than once!

The ‘top end’ classroom punishment of the slipper was certainly more common for boys than girls. I was extremely well behaved but even so I got slippered once and most boys probably got the slipper at some stage, but it was quite an event if a girl was slippered. I don’t recall anyone being sent to the headmaster for punishment in junior school. Classroom teachers were more than capable of managing their own patch. However the junior school headmaster was also head of the associated secondary (then called senior) school, and in that role he caned both boys and occasional girls.

You said:

As you’ve clearly deduced from my response to you above a slapped leg did make a big impression on me. But it was in infant school age almost 7, and as in your school it became much more a punishment for girls as ages advanced. However the occasional unfortunate boy was so punished even in the final year age 10 or 11. Not me, I’m happy to say. In that situation I’d rather have had the slipper any day!

I note that you posted twice in response to my queries, and you may have thought that your first post had got lost. The way the Forum works is that for a period posts by new contributors are checked by the Moderators before appearing on the Forum. This sometimes entails a delay before a post appears. Unless you receive an error message of some sort when you post your contribution is almost certainly safe and sound and will appear in due course.

This is unfortunately necessary because in the past some people have misused the facility to have posts appear straight away and posted items which were contrary to the spirit of the Forum. What usually happens, and hopefully will happen in your case, is that after a period the Moderators allow direct posting, and posts then appear as soon as they are made.</div>

Thank you for providing the additional detail on the wielding of the pencil case by Miss O. Alas KK and I will have to agree to differ on the suitability of a pencil case for use as a CP implement. However if, as you note, Miss O also used it to punish boys of 14 and 15 I’m guessing it was fairly effective. Lady teachers of that era were usually pretty hard headed when it came to SCP and I can’t imagine that she’d have been whacking older boys on the bottom with it unless she was confident it would convey a suitable message!</div>

Thank you for explaining the reason for me submitting two familiar posts, i thought i had made a
mistake with the first post ,so i resent.
This is the first time i have submitted threads to any forum,i only discovered this one after attending
a school reunion three months ago with old friends from primary school,who also attended the same
secondary school
After quite a few drinks someone brought up the subject of c.p we received at both primary and
secondary school
One of the females recalled the strapping i and three other boys received from the headmaster,one of
the other boys was also at the reunion.I was surprised she remembered,but then others joined in both
male and female,mostly saying that was the hardest tanning they saw at primary school
On arriving home i entered S.C.P on my laptop and spotted this forum,i must admit i was surprised how
many people,male & female post and found it very interesting. It took me a while to find the courage to
post,but im glad i did,and i will continue to do so

<div style=”width:100%;background-image:url(“/realm/A_L_123/A_L_trg.gif”);”>Hello sc545474,

Thank you for explaining how you came to find the Forum. It is always interesting to know how people came to be here. CP seems to be a not infrequent topic of conversation at school reunions. For some people the passage of time can cause what may have been traumatic events at the time to be viewed in a more relaxed manner. Unfortunately this is not the case for everyone, and that sometimes needs to be remembered in discussions here.

The Headmaster’s punishment of yourself and the three other boys for flicking paint that you described here must certainly have been a memorable one for so many people to recall it at the reunion! It would be interesting to know if any of the female attendees recalled their own punishments and discussed them. In my generation (I was at a Nottinghamshire primary school from 1947 to 1954) it was not uncommon for girls to have been rather more ashamed than boys at receiving SCP, and for them to be less willing to discuss it in later life. This tendency seems less marked in Scotland, where in some schools both boys and girls were belted in considerable, and more or less equal, numbers.

I note that you hesitated before posting here. I was a veteran of Bulletin Boards from pre-Web days, and also had experience of other Forums, but I lurked for some time before posting on this one. I haven’t regretted that I did eventually post (though others might not echo that sentiment ). I hope that you won’t regret your decision either and I look forward to your future contributions. We are a fairly eclectic lot, and one of the great advantages of this Forum is that despite its title discussion is certainly not limited to SCP, as you’ll doubtless have noticed!

I am pleased that my explanation of your disappearing post was of some help to you. Having experienced only a smacked leg aged nearly 7 and a mild slippering aged 11, I can contribute very little from personal experience of SCP. I therefore try to be helpful on the technical side of things, as do some other fellow contributors. We can’t always solve every problem, but we do try! If you have any concerns or queries please do ask.

As regards posts, the Network54 posting interface is much, much more stable than it used to be, and some major annoyances have been removed. I haven’t lost a post, except by my own carelessness, for some time now. Despite this though, some precautions are worth taking.

If composing a contribution that will take more than a very short time to retype it is sensible to keep a copy of it before posting, in case anything does go wrong. It is best to do this in a fairly simple application that doesn’t add too much of it’s own formatting. It needs to allow the post to be composed in it if required, or copy/pasted into it from the Message Text box, and then if necessary copy/pasted back into the Message Text box with a minimum of fuss. All versions of Windows have a program called WordPad which is excellent for this. More complicated word processors such as Word can cause difficulties in some situations as they sometimes substitute quotation marks which Network 54 cannot reproduce.

As I said, if you have any queries, just ask.</div>

Hi again, yes quite a few of the girls who attended the reunion did comment about their punishments
and how much the slapping of legs really hurt,and being put over the teachers knee was to be avoided
The reason that my punishment by the headmaster was memorable was because it was administered in front
of the whole class,as far as i recall no girl was punished by the head,and when boys were sent to him
for punishment it was administered in private,so this was the first time any of the girls had
witnessed a headmasters punishment and how severe it was.Both boys and girls were punished by the
female teachers which were painful enough ,but the headmaster took it to a higher level

I attended primary/junior school in the 1970s in Scotland

I recall the tawse beng used on hands only a couple of times

most teachers were female many older (well they seemed old to me)

many adopted a home style spanking as punishment or smacked bottom as it was often called

out in front of class over the knee and a good few smacks on shorts/skirt
though some it was shorts down or skirt up

there were rumours that one teacher if she took you into the side room/store cupboard come office that she pulled your pants down also
I did not believe this until the day it happened to me–that was by far the sorest spanking I got at junior school
I recall trying to stop my pants being pulled down and got a few smacks on legs and bottom even before I went over the knee

one teacher never smacked bottoms that I recall but dealt out smacks on the legs just below our shorts just before hometime — most lived quite close to school which meant the redness was till there when one arrived home

It happened.ed once to me. I was schooled in Ireland.
A Miss G kept me after class and scolded me. The normal punishment was the strap on the hands.
Before I knew where I was I was over her knee. It was quite a shock. This was many years ago now!!

I went to primary school in the early 70’s and remember a nasty old teacher, Mrs B. She regularly pulled boys and girls over her knee and smacked them extremely hard across their underpants/knickers, leaving most of them in tears, especially the girls. One day I had been kept in at break, can’t remember why. Two of the class clowns, also lads had also been kept in and despite her sitting at her desk they continued to fool around, till she snapped! We were all pulled one by one to her desk, lined up and each of us had our shorts yanked down and went over her knee for a good walloping! I was punished at home by mum like this, but wow did it hurt, I had wet eyes when I gingerly returned to my desk.

I went to a UK primary school in the 1950s. It was known as infants and juniors; two schools that were entirely separate but were next door to each other. As far as I knew the only link was the caretaker’s accommodation. The infants school had only lady teachers with very little CP used. When given it was in the classroom, a firm leg across the back of the leg often hard enough to leave a red hand print for quite a while. Boys and girls were treated alike. The junior school was entirely different with both male and female teachers and a headmaster. The lower two years were as I remember totally devoid of any CP. The later two years were somewhat different, to prepare us for senior school perhaps, but generally it was only used on us boys. Should a girl seriously misbehave she might be sent to the senior female teacher who slapped her legs firmly. For boys there were classroom punishments that varied teacher to teacher. A large backboard T square applied to the seat of short trousers, a hand slap to the bottom, back of legs or hand. In the final year the male teachers occasionally caned the most badly behaved boys across their hands. These canings were usually done in front of a mixed class, one of two strokes being given. All this were seen as quite normal as most youngsters were spanked at home back then.

Ian. No, Mrs B didn’t pull them back up, it was left to me to pull them back up gingerly once she’d finished with me! Luckily for me there was only the two other lads in the classroom, would have been more embarrassing if it had took place in a classroom full of children where I witnessed many spankings, she ruled the classroom, possibly more than any other teacher I was taught by.

The only over the knee spanking in front of the whole class was from a male teacher in my final year at primary school, it was just over my shorts but I remember getting up and the class we’re all staring at me. I think my face was probably as red as my backside with embarrassment!!

Joe the King (1999)

Albeit posted before the comments are enlightening. Everybody has a girl like Alice in the course of their schooling in one of their classes. She should have been forced to clean the toilets. There was probably some girls in that class that may have wondered if the same could happen to them. I think that would bring greater fright to them than the boys.

The two of them could have chosen to be paddled or the less desirable punishment of detention (Everton TX). No one should ever receive corporal punishment against their will or now without their parent or legal guardian nor in front of others irrespective of attire or lack thereof. Maybe someone would want to repost that CBS report showing a Everton middle school boy and girl volunteering to be paddled? It can be found on Corpun. They’re grown up now and could very well regretted the decision to have become models.

I certainly don’t condone a mother treating a son with similar severity (must have been painful in filming) on the bare in their own homes and certainly no in front of their brothers or sisters. It would not be considered a police matter.

This would mean at least a suspension for the teacher twenty years ago in TWP states.
