A girl was also told to stay behind after school for similar reasons. Only in her case unlike mine it was never specified that she was getting the slipper, more I felt for a detention.
After the lesson We both stayed in out seats as the other pupils left and we were told to come to the front of the class.
The teacher then seemingly forgetful and almost posed in the form of a question… “I told you both to stay behind for the slipper didn’t I?”
I mumbled something to the affirmative and the girl didn’t contradict him despite the fact I never got the impression she had been kept behind for this reason.
The slipper in this case being a aprox size 10/11 white gymshoe and well used.
