I must have been one of the last sixth formers to be spanked (in a state school anyway). It was autumn term 1983, I was nearly 17 and we had a new games teacher, Mr Davies, well fit and just out of teacher training college. I left my kit at home one week, not fancying rugby on a cold, wet day, and thinking I would get away with it. When I told Mr Davies I had forgotten my kit, he told me that games lessons were still compulsory for 6th formers and I would have to be punished. He said I could be put on detention but that would mean having to stand up in school assembly to explain the reason, most embarrasing for a 6th former he said. He then picked up a gym shoe and said there was a alternative and no one else need know anything about it. I said I didn't want to have to stand up in assembly and agreed to get it over and done with. I thought it would be one or two whacks through my trousers. Imagine my surprise when he told me to drop my trousers and pants and get over the desk. I hadn't expected a bare bottom spanking when I agreed to be punished. He gave me six powerful whacks, applied to strike each cheek simultaneously and it really hurt. He then told me to get dressed and warned me not to forget my kit again 'you'll have a very sore bottom next time' he said. I never did summon up enough courage to forget my kit again so there was no next time alas, but if I could have my time all over again ......

Did any other seniors get spanked at about this time or later?
