As always, I’ll provide more details upon request

Excellent work again. Thank you I, Researcher.
A couple of points I noticed.

Meadway (Secondary) – Reading
Carol – b1959 – Hand across bottom by male teacher – 1970 to 1976.
Rather strange for a secondary school girl to receive a spanking from a male teacher, especially as the only other male teacher punishment was a slipper.

Secondly, most girls only seem to mention one punishment so CP seemed to work. There are not so many girls punished in this area as other parts of England on first glance either. Only two girls seemed to have been punished more than once. Brenda from Slough seems to be the worst offender. I would love to know more about her please.

Hello IResearcher

Thank you very much once again for your amazing efforts and interesting findings. I would have liked your post but the like button seems to have disappeared from Tapatalk – I think it was there yesterday.

Good to see a further contribution from I, Researcher.

Some mention of Berkshire schools, I lived near that area  in the 1970s. Some schools there still used the cane and slipper at least on boys back then.  I realise that I, Researcher limits his research to only girls.

I  remember a friend of ours back then saying that his son had been caned in school. I was a bit surprised and said that I thought that schools had stopped doing that by then. My friend didn’t seem too concerned and said at least that his son had kept his trousers on when he was caned at school. I didn’t press  for more details! We must remember that this was 40 or 50 years ago.

Are South East girls more descriptive in their recollections? It seems far more SPECIFIED the part of the anatomy struck, mostly the bottom, sometimes the hand, and once across the legs with a tennis racquet. And a lot more male teachers seem involved. Obviously a lot less sex discrimination in the more affluent South East.

Hello Grammar School Boy,

I’m glad you appreciate these threads.  In reference to Meadway Secondary in Reading Carol stated:

‘Shut up [surname omitted] was all he ever said to me! He slapped my arse one day and left a chalk handprint! He also said see you in the dole queue [surname omitted] as he left when we did and signed on for a year or two until he got his pension! Think he was shocked I got a job straight away’

I’m guessing that this was a single slap rather than a full on spanking.

Unfortunately, most accounts on facebook don’t provide how many times an individual received SCP.  Despite this, you do make an interesting point regarding the usage of SCP being more effective on girls.  Whilst researching the East Midlands area I managed to procure a punishment book from a Derby based Lower Secondary School that was complete from 1976 to 1981.  This enabled me to make a comparison study that actually supports this statement.  If you’re interested the findings are here.

In reference to the South East Region, Berkshire is only a small part of it.  Once I’ve completed the other counties, I think we’ll have substantial numbers, though probably not as many as the North West.

Finally, regarding Brenda’s punishments at Warrenfield Secondary in Slough she doesn’t provide too much detail.  In response to a the mandatory ‘Peter John fez up’ and ;Viz spoof claims’ thread she merely states:

‘Got the lot and more lol’

and

‘Lol I had the cane the slipper the ruler lol and the black board rubber chucked at me lol never done me no harm’

Furthermore, she provides more evidence in a Peter John SCP poll by ticking the following:

‘I got my arse caned 2 strokes’
‘I got my arse caned 3 strokes’
‘I got both hands caned 1 on each hand’

Hello Oliver Sidney,

I’m glad you like my post, and there are many more to follow.  Regarding SCP being more effective on girls there are so many factors to consider, though I did post some statistics and personal analysis on the aforementioned thread where I had access to an actual punishment book, if you didn’t see it first time it might be worth a look for your to draw your own conclusion.

Hello six of the best,

It doesn’t surprise that your friend’s son was caned in the 1970s in a school in that area.  I’ve encountered countless accounts of male pupils received SCP from mostly male but occasional female teachers.  There are too many accounts for me to list.  However, once I complete this project, I intend to randomly pick a school from each county and perform some comparative studies.

Hello Stujos,

As of yet I’m not sure if South East girls are most descriptive in their recollections.  I look forward to finding out in  a couple of months when I complete the region.

Hello six of the best,

Hi I, Researcher,
The lad I mentioned was caned in the late 1970s, over 40 years ago. His dad, my friend, certainly approved of SCP provided it was deserved.

I’m a little concerned about some people’s geography. No way is Berkshire in the South East. I’ve always thought of the South East as being east of London.
Berkshire is west of Oxfordshire with Buckinghamshire is very much central above London with Middlesex to the west of London and Hampshire to its south west. Some counties stretch from the east towards what I’d call ‘central south midlands’.
Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Essex and Suffolk are certainly south east counties. All this depends on where you are based or where you grew up.
I grew up in a large city in the south west that some folk in Cornwall regarded as the bottom end of the South Midlands!
Returning to I, Researcher’s data none of this is particularly relevant. The rules concerning SCP varied greatly with one school only a few miles from another with very different rules.
Can I also point out that parental attitudes also varied greatly in the years that are included in some of I, Researcher’s data. Many parents in the early 1950s still used spanking at home. Whereas by the early 1980s very few parents still used it in the home.
Please understand that all that I have written here is not intended in any way as a criticism of I, Researcher’s fine research.

Hello six of the best,

For the sake of this project I’ve simply used the current statistical  Regions of England created in 1994 and last modified in 1998.  Although, I agree with you that the actual locations of some counties/cities are debatable, for the purpose of this project I opted to use them for consistency.  Most of the cases I post are from the 1950s up to 1987 and a lot of county borders changed during that time.  Despite using the Regions of England as a guide, I might occasionally get a location a bit wrong, especially if its  an area I’m not familiar with.
