Stranger than fiction: over the schoolmaster’s knee
One of the most popular fictional scenarios on school discipline websites involves the schoolmaster taking the naughty sixth-former – always played by a model aged eighteen or older – across his knee for a spanking on the seat of his tight white underpants, followed by a session on the bare. This scene from the Sting Pictures production Tales from St Datchets Academy perfectly illustrates my point.
Of course, such punishment never happened in real life -----
except when they did.
Daily Herald, 3 July 1964
The report starts, “The honour of the school meant so much
to headmaster John Guise that he went too far. He spanked two 18-year-old girl
pupils on their bare bottoms with a clothes brush.”
They had been caught “necking” with two boys from the same
school. The boys went un-spanked (I wonder why? Answers on a postcard to ...)
Summaries of the court case were published in most national
and big regional newspapers at the time, but if you absolutely insist on
getting every cough and sniff of the story you can read the version published
in the local newspaper, The Cornishman, that runs for more than 4,600
words !!!! Read it on the World Corporal Punishment Research website, Corpun.
