2. Where slipperings were carried out
The majority of slipperings took place at the front of the classroom with pupils looking on. Some teachers preferred to keep a bit of “mystique” about “The Slipper” and therefore took the person who needed to be slippered into an adjacent room such as a store room so that the slippering, together with any accompanying sounds from the recipient, could be heard but not seen. Other teachers kept pupils behind at the end of a lesson and slippered them in private or gave pupils an appointment to have “The Slipper” at break, lunchtime, directly after school or at the end of an after school detention. More senior teachers sometimes slippered pupils in an office and occasionally “The Slipper” was used on the corridor to provide an instant remedy for an infringement of the rules.
