abuse at school

[waatah]

Not totally related but back in the late 60's, early 70's at my school, boys had swimming lessons nude up to the age of 16 - with a female instructor. There were also times when girls accompanied swimming lessons but were allowed bathing suits albeit this only happened if one instructor was off ill.

There were also many times when girls were caught spying on the boys and not punished - it was joked about. It was even rumoured that was how some girls 'chose' their boyfriends.

I very much doubt it would happen now. When i think back i find it bizarre that it happened at all.

At my (boys') school in the 1960s (a long time ago, in several ways) we were made to swim nude, indoors in winter and outdoors in summer. Getting from changing room to outdoor pool was sometimes a problem, especially as the music teacher (female) always seemed to be "just passing" at the time. We survived.

Oh how lucky you all were to just recieve the paddle, or cane!
At our school we had to endure a lot worse than that, depending on our "crimes"
I remember if you got 3 questions in a row wrong, the boys and girls all around you got punished, you didnt...
The punishment was normally what we called "the wet room" where everyone was told to strip naked and were pushed into the room, and hose with freezing cold water, the offender was allowed magazines, soda pop, crisps and chocolate, and was to sit on the "kings" throne inside the room..well protected by the water and in full view of everyone. Of course once the punishment was over, all hell broke loose as the students all attacked the offender, while the teacher looked on laughing.
The worst offenders though, like fighting or stealing etc were more forcibly punished, the prefered method was the "walk of doom" where all the teachers lined up in the corridor and you were to walk past them all while they shouted abuse and swore at you, spitting at you, and punched and kicked you on the way past..if you made it to the end of the line, you were pardoned and freed, but if you collapsed with a punch, or fell..then you were sent to the darkroom for the rest of the day, which was..as you can imagine....a dark room with a slit in the door so anyone, teacher or student..would be encouraged to open the slat and spit, or throw things at you.
Thankfully i never recieved either of those punishments, but i was involved with wetroom punishment regularly.

Whee did thi happen at? US or UK? I was a child of the 70's in the US. I find that very close to sexual abuse for any of the children to 'hate to' swim nude!

When I think back to my school days I wonder if our Headmaster got away with murder. He was very strict and feared by all the girls because if we were in trouble and were sent to his office, he would smack our bottoms. I don't just mean a quick slap, we would actually have to bend ovr his lap and recieve a proper smacked bottom!
I know wonder if this was abuse or just normal for the time? Does anyone else here remember being punished like that at school in the late 70's early eighties?

People are missing the op's point. He had them lay over his lap....... that's a bit perverted. Damn near crotch to crotch......... tell me......... could you feel his efection?

HUMMM...A bit perverted, ooh my ickle bitty mind, it's a ickle bit perverrrrrrted, he..he...he..giggle wriggle, blushing shynesses!!!

NO you silly kid!...It's what happened in those days, so get over it and stop griping!! Some people are always moaning about sexual abuse when nothing of the kind happened! It's seems that this is the only thing some people want to talk about here, so who's really perverted then?????
Maybe some of you would like to prove abuse where none existed, so that you all could have some-one attacked, hurt and/or "burned at the Stake"! This is reminiscent of a by-gone age where the public would flock to see the "Accused" flailed alive in front of them!!
Well, it's never going to happen again, so what are you on about!

Just grow up, or at least try to evolve into more advanced/civilized Human Being for a change!

I am no doubt in the minority, I very often am. I was disciplined at home and School with Corporal Punishment. We got the Cane or Strap at school, and the Strap at home.

Having read these posts here I can not say that there are potential cases of what todays people would refer to as abuse. I can not say that certain Teaching Staff may have had so called perverted thoughts in administering it, I am not saying that kids should be held down and flogged mercilessly, but and it is a big but ! there is no getting away from the facts that there is no deterrant, Respect for people or property, or a pride in apperance or life in General.

For me, and God knows that I have had my share and then some, the threat of a Hiding was the deterrant. I got the Strap for everything from smoking to being Cheeky, it hurt like hell, and I cried like a baby, but it did not kill me. I remained respectful, and learned right from wrong. and lets face it, No one dies from it.

The world is crazy, and I think that this, so called Liberal everyone is equal, no one is responsible regime that has taken over our Society like a Malignant Cancer, should be over ruled. There should be penalties from wrong actions, and people should have the choice how kids are disciplined. There is a Gap as wide as a motorway is long between Abuse and Discipline, and these week backed individuals, some of who are elected to Governmentand the like should shut up, back off and allow the individual responsible to decide how kids are brought up.

Finally, my last rant here for today. If the laws about Parents being responsible for their Kids were as rigorously enforced as the threat of actions is they are found delivering the sort of Punishments I got, we would not have this as a debate.

BRING IT BACK !!!!!!!!

I remember when they had the cane in our junior school and they phased it out luckily before we got to the 4th year.

Have a look at this: true report in the newspapers in the early 60's:

Perhaps you can understand why I'm sceptical about some of the stories appearing here.

[Samantha gets caned]

Thank you Sir I'll try to be good, I don't want to get my bum slippered

Katie rock-chick (if it was indeed you that wrote this), a question for you :

Given a choice of 200 lines or six on the bum with the slipper which would you have chosen ?

6, even if they really hurt, it's over soon. I was caned at school, at least it's quick!

Samantha,

I have not visited this site for months so imagine my surprise at finding one of my very old posts quoted at the top of the board. Spooky...

Anyway, bend over, please.

There is an awful amount written about corporal punishment and the abuse of it at schools in the past.
There is a website http://www.corpun.com which gives a real factual history of corporal punishment all over the world.

From having read the newspaper artlcles on the website it is clear that boys did get the cane and slipper on the bottom quite regularly.
I am glad it was abolished in all schools in 1999 (ten years ago) in the U.K.
I think most boys in the U.K are glad corporal punishment has been abolished. For those boys who recieved it in the past my heart goes out to you.
The only thing corporal punishment teaches you is resentment.

did any of you girls get a smacked bum either at home or at school during your period? most of the time i did not, mum gave me some leeway but i remember 1 time mum asked me to do something and i muttered under my breath about her doing it herself. i was in the middle of my period and mum saw when she yanked my panties down but on this occasion she still smacked my bare bum with her hand till it was very red.

A view from the other side, not as a teacher but a parent. I spanked my daughter when my wife and I considered it necessary, not a frequent occurence, it happened no more than five times in total. The routine was always the same; she pulled her own knickers down, then over my knee for enough slaps to make her cry (three was usually enough).

The last time was when she was fifteen. I decided she was too old to go over my knee and I wanted to avoid hand-to-bottom contact so she was required to bend over. There was an argument about whether she had bent over far enough but I then pulled her frock up and her panties down, another argument but I insisted they stayed down.

I then smacked her hard with the back of a long handled clothes brush. The first stroke brought a loud "Ow" from her; with the second she shot upright, clutching her rear and bawling. To my shame I then spoke the cliche "Bend over, we've barely started". She bent over again and I delivered the third stroke. This almost reduced her to hysterics but she remained in position waiting for the fourth.

But I suddenly realised that I was enjoying it. The fourth stroke never came, I told her to stand up and pull her pants up. And I never ever spanked her again.

From eight to twelve, "pants down" was to make sure that the spanking hurt. At thirteen and fifteen I thought I was using it to add humiliation to the punishment to persuade her that it wasn't worth risking a spanking in future. But now I'm not sure.

Fortunately for me my daughter, now middle-aged, has never held it against me and we are very close. She did tell me that the waiting for me to come up to the bedroom was the worst part.

I went a school in Seaford Sussex in the late sixties ,as an adult I live in Canada. I know if a Canadian had the experiences we had at that school the Headmaster and some of the teachers would have spent his old age in prison and " victims" would be seeking compensation etc .The headmaster used to supervise senior morning swim and that was a nude swim and I could recount so many times when he would give very inapropriate lectures alone with a studend in his study . He also used to check to see if we were wearing underwear under our sports gear by pulling the elastic waistband and peering down ! I myself look back at this and laugh and think what a looser this guy was with all his power to be so inadequate that he needed to get a high off kids rather than find a partner his age to enjoy and be happy with. The Canadian way would be you would be a victim and your life ruined so you needed a lawyer to represent you and get a cash settlement . I really do not know having lived more than half of my life in Canada which way is right likely a way in between the two would work best . I am sure plenty of English kids did not survive the harsh system but on the other hand so many super strong people who stand for what they believe in were produced, Canadians are super nice but stand up for nothing accept so much crap .

I was spanked in school in Canada in the early 1970's. It was a country school and everyone knew everyone and their dog. At 8, I was taken to the front of the class of both boys and girls and spanked.It was on my pants,over her knee. This went on for quite a few times and I have no idea how or why I was being spanked so often. One day she marched me up front and pulled out the chair and hushed the class. She proceeded to unfasten my pants and loosen then at my hips.She put me across her lap and grabbed my shirt and pushed it all the way to my neck.Next she grabbed my pants and underwear and pulled them to my sneakers. She then yelled at the classroom of children to be quiet or the next one to make a sound will be next.Well that worked,the class was silent during my spanking. The only sound in that classroom was her hand striking my bare bottom and me trying desperately to not cry out...I failed. He slapped me probably 30 times,hard. Once finished she put me on my feet.Of course when she lifted me from her lap her hands were under my arms and holding my shirt from falling. I was standing in front of some 25 children...friends, neighbors and relatives with my pants and underwear at the floor and and my shirt held up at my shoulders. I had only ever been nude at home with mum for a bath. There is NO way they didnt see my private areas and my bottom would have been red. After she dressed me I returned to my seat and buried my head in my arms and cried silently. I could not sit. The last spanking/beating was at the teachers lounge.Over her knee,pants down with another teacher witness. She took a strap to my bare buttocks. For all of you who do not think this stuff went on ...well I hear to tell you it happened,and yes, in Canada.
