A Note to His Teacher

My mother grimaced when she reviewed my 12th grade report card. I was a senior in high school and already had turned 18 over the summer. I had a mix of grades on the report card: 2 A's, 1 B, 1D, and yes, 1 F. The F was in English, and it was from a new teacher this year, Miss Kayden, who was very attractive--blonde and shapely, probably in her late 20s--but also very strict. Miss Kayden watched us like a hawk when she was presenting material.
Any time she saw someone not paying attention, for any reason, she made a mark in her grade book. On my report card, she had written: "Jack is obviously bright, but he doesn't pay attention in class. When I am speaking, I see him looking at others or in a book. He has done acceptably on tests but has failed because of his tendency to avoid listening to me."
My mother looked at me and asked, "Why can't you focus on her? I gather she's nice to look at, so what's the problem?"
I replied that I guess I had screwed up. I apologized and said I would pay attention from now on. I wasn't going to tell mom that Miss Kayden was failing me because she kept catching me trying to look up her skirt as well as some of the girls' skirts.
"I'm going to write your teacher a note," my mother then declared. "She needs to know that I've spoken to you about this." The next morning, she handed me an envelope--it was pink, like her stationery--and told me to give this to Miss Kayden, without opening it.
I wondered what she said but didn't dare try to open the envelope, mainly because Miss Kayden would obviously see that I had done that, and I'd then be in real trouble.
The pink envelope bothered me a lot but when I went to English class, I handed Miss Kayden the envelope and said, "This is a note from my mother, Miss." She took it from me without saying anything.
At the end of class, she called me up to her desk. "Do you have lunch now, or another class?" she asked. I told her that I had lunch.
"Then stay here," she said. "I need to speak with you." When everyone else had left the classroom, I sat down at a desk facing her.
"Jack," Miss Kaden now began, "your mother has sent me a very interesting note. She clearly is an astute lady and I respect what she has written. She knows that our school district has reinstated corporal punishment, and a number of teachers have paddles, as I'm sure you're aware. Your mother suggests that I discipline you for your lack of attention which resulted in your getting a failing grade. As a teacher here, I have wide discretion in how I punish you.
"Have you ever been paddled by a teacher?" she asked.
I answered that I had not been paddled.
"Well," she said, "your mother just happens to have the same view of this as I do. I'd very much like to meet her. But she has suggested that I punish you in front of the class and has given her consent to whatever kind of punishment, whatever implement, I might decide to use. You do know that some teachers do this after school, but others do it in class. My tendency is to carry out such punishment in class, so the others will recognize what they might receive if they misbehave."
"Are you going to paddle me in front of the class then, Miss?" I asked, fearing the answer.
"Yes, I am going to punish you in front of the class," she replied, with a slight smile. I could see that she loved the idea of applying her paddle to my bottom.
"There's one more thing, though," she added. "When I punish you in front of the class, your trousers and underpants will be taken down and you will be caned on your bare bottom. I imagine you have never been caned before?"
"No," I said, suddenly being very unhappy and scared with the direction this conversation had taken.
"You will feel a very stinging sensation for some time after you receive a caning," she advised me. "I think it will correct your attitude and you will focus on listening in class and not allowing your eyes and mind to wander. In particular, Jack, you will stop trying to look up my skirt or any other skirts in the class."
She then concluded by saying that I would be caned tomorrow in class.
"I guess there's nothing I could do to make up for what I've done," I asked. "I really am sorry for not paying attention and will not do that ever again."
"I appreciate your regret," she answered, "but I've decided that you need to receive a dose of the cane to make sure you remember what you are promising. By the way, I suspect you don't know that your mother suggested that I use my cane. She wrote to me that being caned when she was in school did wonders for focusing her attention on school. I haven't yet caned anyone this year, or since I've been in this school, but I have a lot of experience with it in the places I've previously taught.
"I intend to write to your mother and would like you to sit there while I do that and I'll give you a return note for her," Miss Kaden said.
I just sat at the desk and nodded that I would wait.
She sat down at her desk and took out some crisp white stationery and began to write with her fountain pen. Although she was only in her 20's, I concluded that she liked being a traditional old-fashioned teacher, one who enjoyed applying her cane to the bare bottoms of pupils who got out of line as she saw it.
She finished the note, inserted it in the envelope, sealed the envelope, and handed it to me. It had my mother's name written on the front in a very well-handwritten script.
I thanked her for the note and took it before I left the room as quickly as I could.
When I got home, I didn't waste any time handing the note to my mother. She gave it a look and then opened it.
"I'll read what she says to you, so you know what she has told me about you," she said. "She writes: 'Dear Mrs. Landon: I very much appreciate your taking the time to write to me about Jack's behavior. I was so pleased that you suggested that I use the cane to discipline him and that I plan to do just that in tomorrow's class. It is my view too that the cane is most effective in correcting pupils who do not pay attention in class. You should know, of course, that when Jack's gaze wanders, he also tries to look up my skirt and those of the girls in the class. In return for your taking the time to write to me, I will seriously consider revising Jack's grade upward should he participate in class and stop looking up skirts, as I expect he will in the next few weeks. Sincerely yours, Lauren Kaden"
"I've never caned you, Jack," my mother said coolly, "but this young woman will definitely show you what it is like. I predict you will not like it, but you have gotten yourself into this pickle so I hope you will do what she says so she will remove that nasty F from your report card. I think this is just the thing to get your attention. Don't even think about taking a sick day tomorrow. And wear clean underwear. By the way, why are you looking up skirts? Women and girls find that very offensive and I'm not surprised Miss Kayden is punishing you for that. Cut it out right now. You have girlfriends, for crying out loud. Do they let you look up their skirts? OK, you don't have to answer that. But don't do it in school."
