There has been a lot of posts on this site recently about the paddle. This is because we here in the UK are not familiar with it, here it was usually the cane or the slipper. The slipper was NOT a house slipper, but a plimsoll. I do not know if you have plimsolls in the US, but they are a light type of trainer with a rubber sole, and a canvas top, used in school gymnasiums, that is unless the gym RSM wanted everyone bare foot. A lot of gym RSMs wanted everyone barefoot and in shorts only, no underpants, except girls, who were usually in a top and knickers, but had women teachers. The slipper could sting quite a bit, but it was not drastic, it was more of a warning to behave or else !
