Sorry, back to the school context. I remember one person recently, on several similar boards, relating the story of his sister. She was punished for some unfinished homework, skirt raised in front of a mixed class, by the RE teacher. It was a very unpleasant tale, with the girl suffering a great deal of trauma.
Then we have the tale of a religious teacher of similar temperament, who left the UK for the states, set up his own school, and began ‘spanking in the name of the lord’. You may remember his downfall occured when a prospective pupil, accompanied by her mother, was made first to strip naked, and then to accept a sample paddling. Had she been a pupil, he may have got away with it.
