I remember Mrs Cook best. Despite the habit she had of pulling up your dress and smacking you on the meaty part of your thigh if you were naughty, she is the teacher I am most grateful for. Jacqui Glowacki (née Hurley) Knowsley CofE Primary School

I remember Mrs Watts smacking my legs for swinging on the coat pegs! I never did it again! Jackie Warren (née Deacon) Bulkington First School

I just read Phil Rich’s account of being the first boy to be ‘slippered’. I have to say I was the first girl to have had that pleasure – I have had a phobia for plimsolls ever since! He obviously left a lasting impression on me (or part of me)! Marilyn Sothcott (née Kaye) Manorside Junior Mixed and Infants School

I seem to remember only the boys got the cane whereas girls got the slipper. Terri Anderson (née Saunders) Roebuck Junior School
