Boys that had received severe detentions and were under a threat of death from parents.These boys would opt, and the pe teacher know it, for the slipper so their parents would not find out they were in trouble again.They were hardly going to complain to parents about the slippering they got, as they took it to prevent their parents knowing.I think in some cases the PE staff really whacked them extra hard and did not worry about a bruise on the bottom as these boys would say nothing.Also, they were unlikely to say anything if they were required to take it on just pe shorts, pants, or even on the bare bottom. Likewise was the last group.Boys who were scared to tell their parents they had been naughty, and a good many of these existed.
