At primary school I was one of many victims of a particularly sadistic “man”?? who would give full force slipperings for the very slightest of reasons. It was impossible to get through the 2 years I spent in his class without feeling that adult sized white pump across my behind, as he would often order all the boys to the front to recieve a couple of very hard whacks. My very first slippering was a traumatic affair as I had never been disciplined in this way ever before. Any punishment at home was a clip around the ear or smacked legs (my parents were not strict disciplinarians). In all I was slippered 11 times at my primary school.
