There were a lot of crazy fucking teachers when I was at school, I didn't fully realise how crazy until years later, by which time we had all been shaped!
Most of the teachers would throw chalk at you, if you weren't paying attention, some would even use a board rubber, which was actually a block of wood! Yes it hurt if you were hit with it! One physics teacher like to use a metre rule to whack kids out of his reach, the other one would grab boys by the ear. The boys always got it worse than the girls, the girls were called by their first names back then, the boys by their surname. We had mass punishment, one person doesn't comply, you all get extra lines/home work, detention etc
The teachers definitely enjoyed their moments of power, one particular female teacher, Miss Smith was quite attractive, slim and always dressed smart, she was also a bitch. If she caught the girls chewing gum she made them stick it in their hair! Yes for real. However she was much more hands on with the boys, normally the smaller ones who were easier for her to handle.
I remember her telling Johnny Brown to do up his top button and to straighten his tie. Other boys in the class were dressed to the same standard he was, yet she went over to him, told him to stand up and then started pulling his tie tight round his neck.
She did do this to other boys but Johnny always got it worse than the others, he was always the test pilot so to speak and once she realised she could get away with it, she moved to the next level/game.
A slap on the back of the head as she walked past, dropping his book on the floor so he had to pick it up, asking him to stand and tell the class what she had just said, then asking him to stand on his chair and tell the class what she had just said. Making the boys hold their hands out so she could hit them with a ruler. It was always Johnny first and then some of the other smaller boys for variation but never the biggest ones. The girls also got the hand smack and chair stand. Although Johnny wasn't totally blameless, he was cheeky at times and would often smirk about it afterwards. But it was clear, a lot of the time she was deriving pleasure from the interactions. Johnny was cute!
However one day she caught Johnny passing notes and with her normal stern but slightly squeaky she voice said.
"BROWN, what do you think you are doing boy?"
"Nothing Miss."
"I saw you." There was a long silence and then she added. "Come up to the front of the class."
She had a glint in her eye and this was something new; Johnny gingerly made his way to the front.
"Now are you going to tell me who you passed that note to."
Then as now, kids didn't give their friends up easily.
"I wasn't passing a note Miss."
"Liar liar pants on fire."
She beamed! Yes she definitely could be childish!
"Well you either give me their name or I'm going to spank your pants in front of the entire class."
The classroom went silent. She pushed his shoulders so he was now facing away from us and told him to bend over. He didn't.
"If you don't bend over Johnny Brown the whole class will get detention."
This now divided the group. Some would be happy to do detention rather than a pupil give into a teacher, others knew we couldn't really win. Johnny knew he couldn't win and he bent forward offering his rear. All eyes were now on the tight material covering his butt.
"That is a good boy." She giggled, before picking up a ruler. She only gave him three very light smacks. It clearly didn't hurt him at all but what it did do, was embolden her. Johnny was left alone for a week or two as other boys got their hands smacked and girls got told to put gum in their hair. Remember at this time you could still get sent to the headmasters office for a proper caning. Another thing I noticed about this younger teacher, was her clothing had gotten a little more provocative, an extra button on her blouse was undone, she always wore perfume and makeup. Us girls weren't allowed makeup or to shorten our skirts. Her skirts hugged her butt. Looking back it was more power play and I'm sure some of the boys lusted after her.
Eventually amongst the other punishments she called another lad to the front of class and gave him six soft smacks, saying.
"You boys will learn to behave."
The next lesson with Miss Smith, two days later and she was calling Johnny to the front of the class for the crime of grinning at her! But like I said, Johnny was cheeky and he virtually swaggered to the front of the class.
"Oh we think we are clever do we young man."
She was staring right at him, it wasn't a question.
"We will see if you are feeling so clever in a minute."
Johnny was already turning around, smiling at the class, thinking it was all a big joke. Until she reached round him and started to undo his trousers, that was the first time Johnny actually made a fuss.
"What the fuck Miss."
Shoot from his mouth. The class made a collective gasp. Swearing at a teacher was quite the crime back then. We couldn't walk on the grass and teachers would tell us to take our hands out of our pockets; swearing was virtually a capital punishment crime.
"I beg your pardon young man, do you want to be sent for a caning? do you? do you? now turn round and lower your trousers, perhaps that will teach you not to swear."
