Our gym mistress would sometimes put a girl over her lap in the changing room and smack them across the bottom. Or sometimes lift the back of their gym shorts and smack their upper thighs. I can assure you that she was not an expatriate from the Isle of Lesbos. She had a boyfriend who was also a teacher at our school and he was a very good-looking and attractive man. To suggest that there is some kind of a connection between discipline and other motives in 99% of cases is ridiculous and insulting. There is no need to post comments like that on this forum. There are plenty of other forums where that kind of nonsense will be tolerated. I was very friendly with our gym teacher after I left school and she was an exemplary individual.
