There was only slippering on shorts in PE in my school. We are talking about 1967 to 1971 or thereabouts. We had to wear quite tight,, shiny shorts, so there was no protection and it did hurt, but to get the slipper was not regarded as a big deal. It was nearly always in front of boys but I did get it once where girls were looking on.
This may well have prompted a girl to ask me how painful the slipper was, and for me to subsequently slipper her on the way home from school .. but I’m not quite sure what prompted that.
No sign of any girls from Nottingham High School for Girls very recently sad to say

Corporal punishment survey
Hi, I don’t know if this forum can help, but I’m trying to put together some realistic data regarding the use of corporal punishment in schools.
Reading this and other internet sources of information it is clearly very hard to distinguish between genuine accounts of CP, peoples fantasies, and role play.
School punishment books are difficult to find, or access. When they are available they only show the information that the establishments wished to disclose. They also only reflect official punishments, generally administered by the Head, consequentially they are not very representative of the general use of CP within schools.
If I study references in the media, the reports are generally only written when the incident was questionably outside the law. In England where I live, and indeed went to school, corporal punishment was legally practiced up until 1986. Therefore there would be no reason for the media to cover anything except the unusual.
Many of us however have witnessed (often first hand) the use of corporal punishment at school. If you have (as indeed have I) I’d be very grateful if you’d reply to this post giving as much accurate information as you feel comfortable with. However to keep this thread out of the realm of fantasy, I’d ask that you only post facts, and leave the creative writing and long discussions to other forums.
The information I’d love you to provide is the following:

Were you ever punished again for the same offence?:
Do you consider the punishment effective?:
Any other relevant info:
Many thanks for your participation. I will reply to this post myself with the details of the CP I received.
Note: I see no reason why schools should not be named as they were operating completely within the law.

I posted this in TWP thread that in all likelihood will not be accessed by a new reader. I am making a rare exception of resurrecting a prior post on that account. I am glad that we started with this locked thread with the original advice that this would be the first thread when a new reader is introduced into our Post Great Schism but none the less estimable Forum. I faltered for awhile in thinking as suggested that some may find it uncomfortable to share their personal experience and choose another path.
For those who are concerned with the timeline this occurred in 1957 when I was in second grade.

P.S. After I exhausted my insurance co-payments and would become delinquent in payments I stopped seeing him. Then my psychiatrists had the unmitigated gall of diagnosing me as a narcissists. said I was a narcissist, I told him to go look in his own mirror. Several winks mean that part about the psychiatrists I made up.

<div style=”width:100%;background-image:url(“/realm/A_L_123/A_L_trg.gif”);”>Hello George,
Although we have had various Georges posting in the past I suspect that the above may be your first contribution here, and if so may I please offer a personal welcome to the Forum.
Until recently we had as contributors here a group of lady teachers from the Southern USA collectively known as ‘Teachers Who Paddle’ or TWP, from the name of their Blog. They were enthusiastic advocates for occasional sensible and appropriate use of the paddle as a school punishment and I became quite interested in what to us in the UK is a rather alien and sometimes apparently quite brutal form of SCP. I assume from the ages you give that your paddlings were in Middle School. As in two instances you mention others being punished at the same time I presume paddling was a fairly frequent punishment. Was this the case please?
I assume your 1967 encounters with the paddle were two separate incidents, in which you were punished by a teacher for the fighting and on another occasion by the Principal for the bra strap pulling. I did wonder on first reading if you got 8 swats in one session, 3 from the teacher and 5 from the principal. That would be a very severe punishment and I trust it wasn’t the case!
From the nature of some of your offences I assume that you were at a mixed school, unless your fellow students included some rather strange boys and, as I’ve already noted, you mention being paddled in front of other students also being so punished on two occasions. Were girls paddled at the school please? If so were there any amongst the other students being punished with you or on other occasions known to you when several students were punished together? Were girls punished as severely as boys, as many and as hard swats?
The TWP teachers who posted here only use the paddle out of the sight and hearing of other students and in the presence of one adult witness, but that is modern practice, and obviously things were different in the past. If you were being punished with other students it must have been rather an anxious experience watching and waiting for your turn. I certainly found it so once when I was in a queue to be spanked in front of the class as a little lad, and as I was second in line I didn’t have long to wait for my own turn. Did you have any criteria for who had to suffer the longest anxious wait, youngest first, girls first, alphabetical order or whatever?
It appears from your above contribution that possibly the Principal used a paddle with holes and could give 5 swats whereas teachers used plain paddles and could, or normally did, give 3 swats. Was this so please? Did the Principal’s paddlings hurt more on each swat than paddlings from teachers? If so, why do you think that this was please? What did you believe to be the purpose of the holes in the paddle?
What is your opinion about paddling as a school punishment now please? Do you think it should be allowed where appropriate for all school students or not at all? Perhaps for certain age groups or for boys only?
Sorry, that’s rather a lot of questions. I’ll appreciate it if you have time to answer any of them, and indeed any other information you might chose to give about your experience of paddling.</div>

Variation in number according to authority circa 1964, 1966, 1967? Reading today’s history into schools of yesteryear? Google news accounts of that era do not specify numbers of swats or licks in those gradations specifically. It was more often than not that one was sent to the principal’s office for disciplinary options that often included paddling though empty classrooms and hallways were not all that exceptional. Being of the same era I having substituted where paddles were used in the early and mid seventies no precise number were ever mentioned in my presence by staff or students.

Effectiveness
Were you ever punished again for the same offence?: Not quite
Do you consider the punishment effective?: Yes
Any other relevant info: I was picking on this boy – I’m afraid I was a little bit of a bully at times, and I had been teasing him quite badly. When the bell rang, he got to the stairs going down ahead of me, and slipped on the top stair, sliding all the way down. I’m afraid I laughed. He took the smile well and truly off my face by telling the teacher who came to his aid at the bottom of the stairs that I’d pushed him, and I was off to the office to see the Deputy Headmistress who gave me six of the best. I didn’t argue even though I was technically innocent. For a start, I didn’t dare – she was unlikely to have believed me and I would have just made my punishment worse – my winter skirt was thick enough to make some difference and besides I was actually feeling a little rotten about laughing at a boy who could have been badly hurt and if I’d been seen teasing him that alone could have got me sent to the office. So all in all, I didn’t feel unfairly treated, but it does illustrate just how easy it was in that school for unfair punishment to happen.

Were you ever punished again for the same offence?: Yes (though I didn’t deserve it)
Do you consider the punishment effective?: Yes
Any other relevant info: I really deserved this one. No doubt about it. There was a girl in our class who came out in a rash on school camp after rubbing up against tea tree. Now, she was a really, really, nasty person. Worst bully by far in our year, probably in the whole school – far worse than me – at least up until this point. Anyway, I wanted to get her and knowing just brushing up again tea tree had given her a rash – during a swimming session I got permission to go to the change room to use the toilets and I covered her underwear and bra with tea tree oil (I also made everybody elses clothes in the area wet). For good measure I also put it on her towel. She was in a very significant amount of discomfort, including horrible itching in some really awful places. I got six of the best across my underwear again – this time my skirt wouldn’t stay up and I had to undo it and lower it – but I think that paled in comparison to what had happened to her. This was the second time my parents knew I’d been caned and I think it tested their disagreement with corporal punishment to the limit, especially my fathers (he is a paediatrician and I don’t think I could have committed a worse crime in his eyes). He checked me out when I got home and I felt very vulnerable and nervous that he was about to end a long held belief on my bottom.

Any other relevant info: Somebody (not myself) photocopied and pasted up all over the school a polaroid photo of the girl from the previous incident in the showers. They weren’t the clearest images (black and white photocopies of a photo) but they were recognisable. She claimed I’d taken the photo and that was accepted. In fact, I’d had nothing to do with it at all – neither with the photograph being taken or the photocopying. But I didn’t argue too much about it – by this stage, I knew the odds were I’d just make things worse by ‘lying’ and I really didn’t feel able to bring my parents into it, I didn’t want to remind them of what I’d done before. But I did feel like a convenient scapegoat.

Effectiveness
Were you ever punished again for the same offence?: No
Do you consider the punishment effective?: Yes, but excessive
Any other relevant info: A teacher overheard me referring to the Deputy Head as ‘desperate for a date’ sent me to the office for being so rude. The Deputy Head initially took me into her office, but after I’d admitted what I’d said, took me across to the Headmaster and said she thought he’d better deal with it. He thought it was worth six. I honestly think I would have been better off if she’d dealt with it – this series of stories really isn’t totally fair to her, she did have a sense of humour and could be nice a lot of the time. But once she decided something – tunnel vision in the extreme – and she was very much a ‘following orders’ type, I think as well.

Any other relevant info: End of our final year, with just exams to come, students traditionally had some celebrations and unofficial end of year activities. One of these involved breaking into a local public pool and swimming around naked. We were warned against it, but some of us decided it was worth the risk.
We wound up being given a choice – six of the best or find somewhere else to sit our exams. One girl tried to take the second option but her parents had other ideas and after six years of avoiding the cane (no mean achievement) she got six of the best on her last day. Once again, I had to watch others caned in front of me, and that’s a memory that really sticks with me.
Some boys were also caned by the Headmaster at about the same time for the same thing.
Hi Rebecca, thanks for posting so much info…I’d love to receive a very full & detailed account of the skinny dipping episode & especially the caning of all you girls (watching the others & their reactions & taking your turn!) as it seems to have left a big impression on you…regards,
John

Hi, I don’t know if this forum can help, but I’m trying to put together some realistic data regarding the use of corporal punishment in schools.

School punishment books are difficult to find, or access. When they are available they only show the information that the establishments wished to disclose.

In England where I live, and indeed went to school, corporal punishment was legally practiced up until 1986. Therefore there would be no reason for the media to cover anything except the unusual.

Effectiveness
Were you ever punished again for the same offence?: No
Do you consider the punishment effective?: No
Any other relevant info: My first and last experience with school corporal punishment. I was utterly humiliated. I was the kind of kid who hated having to shower after gym and so first being attacked in the shower and then hauled out into the locker room, bent over and paddled was just about the worst thing I could imagine happening to me. The gym teacher called my stepfather who made sure to live up to his promise that if I ever got it at school I’d get it twice as badly at home. The whole incident only served to teach me that turning in cheaters wasn’t worth it.

Corporal punishment survey
Hi, I don’t know if this forum can help, but I’m trying to put together some realistic data regarding the use of corporal punishment in schools.
Reading this and other internet sources of information it is clearly very hard to distinguish between genuine accounts of CP, peoples fantasies, and role play.
School punishment books are difficult to find, or access. When they are available they only show the information that the establishments wished to disclose. They also only reflect official punishments, generally administered by the Head, consequentially they are not very representative of the general use of CP within schools.
If I study references in the media, the reports are generally only written when the incident was questionably outside the law. In England where I live, and indeed went to school, corporal punishment was legally practiced up until 1986. Therefore there would be no reason for the media to cover anything except the unusual.
Many of us however have witnessed (often first hand) the use of corporal punishment at school. If you have (as indeed have I) I’d be very grateful if you’d reply to this post giving as much accurate information as you feel comfortable with. However to keep this thread out of the realm of fantasy, I’d ask that you only post facts, and leave the creative writing and long discussions to other forums.
The information I’d love you to provide is the following:

Many thanks for your participation. I will reply to this post myself with the details of the CP I received.
Note: I see no reason why schools should not be named as they were operating completely within the law.
I was subject to corporal punishment several times at school, this was the most memorable
