I was also slippered on my own on four occasions and didn’t feel embarrassed in private about letting the teacher see that ‘The Slipper’ hurt; particularly on the occasion when I had to bend over a desk and be given five whacks which gave me a red hot stinging bottom. I was slippered in class twice and once jumped up in pain when given an eye-wateringly painful whack with a plimsoll, (I would have cried if the teacher made me have another), and on the second occasion I held my breath as the teacher held me down by the scruff of the neck and gave me four very hard whacks with a thick-soled trainer right across the middle of both buttocks. On both occasions, other boys seemed to enjoy watching me getting slippered.
