I do have one question. We hear so much about the “Evils” of males smacking females at school. How about the reverse? I know one of my grandsons in about 1965, when he was six was sent to the headmistress and she put him over her knee and smacked his bare bottom.
I know of a case in 1974 (Middle school) where a female came into the boys changing room as the master was required urgently. She stayed and supervised the boys while showering, and put the slipper across a few bottoms (Auriol Middle School) Nobody complained and the view was that the female teacher had boys of her own and was not improper that she should see the boys in such a way.
