Both of the PE teachers used the slipper several times each day on the boys,this could be at morning assembley or in the playground for talking in the lines before we filed back into school after break. Any misbehaviour during games or PE such as not having the correct kit required for the day or messing around and playing up, would be met with a couple of strong whacks with their slippers.Both of the PE teachers also took other lessons and would call you to the front of the class ( I was always at the back) and make you bend over in front of the class for 2 or 3 full strengh strokes. The girls sitting in the front rows seemed to love seeing some of the boys getting this treatment and although I heard rumours that they got the same from their PE mistress it unfortunatley was always in private and not in front of the class.
