This article gives a first-person account of slippering practice at a traditional boys' grammar school (ages 11 to 18 inclusive) in the 1960s, at which the cane was administered in the office for serious offences, but the slipper, applied in the classroom by individual teachers, was much more prevalent. This kind of arrangement seems to have been typical of many secondary schools. The article is illustrated with pictures of a gym shoe said to have been used for the purpose at a different school in the 1970s. Concern had been raised among doctors as long ago as 1934 about the possible medical dangers of caning schoolgirls, who (it was suggested) might well be suffering nervous strain and/or pain already as a consequence of menstruation. Opinions seem to have differed quite widely; at all events, the national authorities remained unpersuaded that CP for girls should be banned altogether, though one or two LEAs did so, and many others strongly discouraged it. The state education system in England and Wales used to be highly decentralised, and there were always wide variations of practice between schools, even between different schools of the same kind in the same area. The only rule laid down by central government was that all formal CP was supposed to be recorded in a punishment book.(1) lowered herself onto her husband's still hard penis. She'd waited far too long for this, she thought to herself. She sighed as An extract from the ubiquitous polymath's memoir Moab Is My Washpot (1997). He was often caned at Stouts Hill prep school around 1970, but harbours no grudges. He takes the view, which I tend to share, that corporal punishment, in the great scheme of things, is not actually a very important issue one way or the other. But it has now become "so culturally loaded as to be almost impossible to inspect", with all the talk of "abuse" causing "hysteria, madness and stupidity in almost everybody". Other kinds of punishment were more damaging, he suggests.

I think we can probably view this case as the absolutely final and definitive nail in the coffin of school CP in Britain. He has no previous convictions – no offences have been committed since these allegations.” Read More Related Articles Reading the thread about what was acceptable in the 70's made me think about the number of times I was caned or assaulted by teachers often for ridiculous reasons. I guess I should feel aggrieved but there was something perversely funny about getting your rump twigged and it was always something that you could bond with mates over. So share your thoughts and stories about caning here. This is how I lost my caning virginity. No arguments mister," Pamela immediately replied in the same tone she used with students.

If you didn't stretch your hand tight he'd tell you to do that. This is an English class in a secondary school. Only male students are in evidence. The teacher is reviewing their assignments. Punishment is administered for unsatisfactory work. For instance, the teacher can be heard reading out students' English spelling mistakes. This concept seems quite common in parts of the oriental world, unlike Western countries (and also incidentally Singapore), where the conventional wisdom is or was that students should be punished only for misbehaviour and not for inadequate academic performance.

I frowned. I'd secretly been hoping that with Lucas' recent arrival he wouldn't know the tougher girls. Doris was a big-framed country girl who could take a beating almost as well as Nancy. "Sure," I muttered with a smile, but inside I was seething. Pamela was impressed with Colin's self-control, but she knew that the caning wasn't even halfway finished.
