Anyone waiting for punishment had to line up, in the corridor, outside a particular classroom, until she came along and called everyone in.
Sometimes you’d be the only one,
I hated that, but usually, there would be three or four.
The most I remember lining up were eight of us.
I can’t remember why there were so many, but can only assume a group got into trouble.
Whilst boys were the worst offenders, girls certainly weren’t exempt.
When in the classroom you lined up against the wall and listened to a general telling off.
You were then called out, one at a time to explain the specific Transgression.
You would then go over her knee for a good spanking or have to bend over a desk for a sound slippering.
You would watch each other get their punishment.
This certainly built the tension until it was your turn.
