I would have been consumed with fear watching a boy have his bottom soundly whacked knowing that I was next in line.
I guess it was a sort of relief once the punishment had been carried out but having to sit through a lesson with a throbbing backside knowing that there may be some in store later in the day must have been freadful.’
I admire yours and your school colleagues sanguine attitude to quite severe punishment but I am pleased that it wasn’t my backside being walloped on a regular basis.
