I attended a very strict all girls catholic school in Yorkshire during the late sixties, early seventies a time when corporal punishment was still an accepted part of everyday school life. There were varying degrees of punishment, depending on the offence, ranging from a couple of whacks with slipper on the seat of your skirt to anything up to nine strokes of the cane addministered directly to the seat of the knickers with skirts raised. I was to suffer the full range of punishments during my five years at the school in fact my first slippering came during my first couple of weeks at the school. I was hauled ot to the front of the class for talking and fooling around there I had to bend over with my feet slightly apart then reach back between my legs and pull the back of my skirt forward between my legs tight, creating a taut surface across my backside.
