Very often the teachers who meted out this kind of discipline were some of the funniest people around and usually you could get away with more with these people than most. In my secondary school I only recieved 2 real wallopings in the 5 years I was there and they were both by I cringe to say this 2 different female teachers. The first occasion in the first year I recieved 2 really hard whacks of the slipper off the girls games teacher on the field. The second time was in the 4th year. Mrs Turley was riding home on her bike down Station rd and for whatever reason she nearly fell off.
