I attended Scottish schools from mid 60’s to late 70’s and never ever encountered corporal punishment against girls. I am therefore surprised to hear that this appears to have taken place
At primary school, I remember one teacher – she must have been about 30 – take a small boy across her knee whilst she was sitting on a school desk – but it is so long ago now I can’t remember if there were many spanks. Sadly, that is the only spanking memory I have from school
Occasionally, there were slaps across the back of the legs if you had been naughty – as we had short trousers these stung a bit! Funny, but since then I’ve had a thing about spanking and shorts!
