I've always had a bit of a thing for school-style punishment where a naughty girl is punished with a 'slipper' (in practice a plimsoll) applied hard across her backside. I suspect there are two major reasons. Firstly, in the all-boys school I attended, the only official corporal punishment that was employed was a cane, and that was administered in the privacy of the office of the headmaster or deputy headmaster. However, some teachers bent the rules a little, probably safe in the knowledge that there were unlikely to be any complaints, and dished out off-the-record punishment in the classroom in full view of everyone, and a majority of those employed a plimsoll. This was always something to be enjoyed by the rest of the class. Secondly, I have read quite a few accounts where co-ed schools might have often used the cane on misbehaving boys but were more reluctant to cane girls, and a number of them chose to 'slipper' girls because it was seen as a less drastic alternative.
A slipper has several significant advantages over a cane. It makes a very loud sound, which is quite intimidating to all present. But it can also be used with almost unlimited force - with a cane, the person wielding it will usually want to hold back just a little because, after all, you don't really want to break the skin. With a slipper, there are no such worries. And that means, if you're feeling particularly irked by the miscreant you're dealing with, you can put all your wrath into applying the implement with all your strength. A third, often overlooked but nonetheless significant advantage, is that other pupils (even if they had themselves felt the slipper on a previous occasion and therefore knew just how painful it could be) would show little sympathy or respect for a classmate who had 'only been slippered' as opposed to being caned.
Following my feature in June about outdoor punishments, I just came across this interesting video clip...
In some ways, it's amazing that without any text or other images, we all probably have a pretty good idea about what is happening, and about to happen, here. I would say she's done something very naughty, her father is furious and he's marched her out onto the back patio. Then he ordered her to remove the belt from her shorts and hand it over. And she's about to get her backside thrashed with that same belt. What we don't know as yet is whether he'll make her take her shorts and panties down for the thrashing - I think there's a good chance that he will. And we don't know if he'll make her bend over the end of the garden seat, but I'd put money on it.
I know and understand that some people don't feel comfortable with spanking scenes based around a teacher/schoolgirl scenario but an awful lot more do. I think it's important to realise that such scenes are not meant to depict something we would feel comfortable with if it were happening now in real life and certainly not with minors or non-consenting adults. However, when consenting adults want to play with a spanking (or in this case, caning) theme, dressing in suitable school attire and, ideally, using an appropriate setting, can intensify the experience. I think we all understand that this sort of scenario would, at one time, have been something that happened for real and the participants can get themselves into the mindset of what it might have been like for both parties. And for me, the more realistic it is to something that would once have happened in schools up and down the country the better. That's why I tend to favour those scenes where the girl being punished is not unclothed.
Were girls ever caned on their bare bottoms by a male teacher? Well, sadly, the answer is yes, but in most cases we know they really happened because the teacher was prosecuted and convicted of a serious criminal offence.
However, might a teacher have got away with turning a girl's skirt back and caning on their panties? I think they probably would, for several reasons. The knickers in the 1950s and 1960s covered a larger area than their modern-day counterparts and were generally of a rather thicker material. Girls were relatively relaxed with the knowledge that others would quite often see their knickers and, indeed, PE classes might be conducted with just a vest and PE knickers so they would be exposed at those times. It is also a fact that girls seemed to quite enjoy doing cartwheels and handstands thus exposing their knickers to all and sundry and that they maybe even chose to do that to tease the boys. From the teacher's point of view, if a girl was bending forward to be caned, the hem of her skirt would likely be just about where he was aiming to land the strokes and would interfere and make aim difficult. Flipping the skirt up would make for a much clearer target area, The girl would probably have far more to worry her than the thought of him seeing her knickers.
