    By the standards of the day, it was probably a bit excessive, but not totally unacceptable.

    I don't think that is acceptable in any decade.

    That's a classic 'spanking story' scenario. And of course, the ritual is deliberately drawn out to maximize the shaming of the naughty boy...the teacher watching closely as his pants are taken down, and then never taking her eyes off his nicely rounded, jiggly backside while his mother paddles it pink across her knee. No question he's getting the punishment he deserves.

    I don't see why not. I bet he was never cheeky to that teacher again.

    I'm sure it happened.Attitudes to discipline were quite different in the past than they are today.

    Only a moron and a bad parent would think that beating their children would serve them well.

    That sort of thing could have happened, though it is slightly more likely that the father was the disciplinarian for a child of this age. The implement of choice could have been anything from a leather strop (used for sharpening a razor) or a leather belt to an electric cord or wooden spoon. A kid of ten would probably have been positioned against something - a desk or a table etc - for the spanking, as he would be quite heavy for his mother to support in her lap. The description you've used - spanking across mother's knee while a woman looks on, sounds somewhat like a sexual fantasy rather than an actually occurrance, though, because of the inclusion of that humiliation factor. Of course, it could have happened. Discipline was a lot harsher forty odd years ago.

    The kid's now somewhere in his 50's-60's. How'd he turn out?

    no..spanking is one thing but being humiliated in that fashion is going just a bit too far. And bare bottom spanking shouldn't be done either. A swat on a fully clothed bottom with the hand is what I consider a spanking. The hand is usually hurt a lot more than the bottom.

    Would like to hear/read the whole story.

    If the teacher was the only witness then absolutely OK.

    When I was in grammar school in the 1950's spanking was on bare bottom but in the coat room. Just you and the teacher, almost all nuns.

    Only serious or repeat offenses were spanked in front of the entire class on the bare bottom. Maybe 1 or 2 or none a year.
