Rachel
Hayhoe-flint - In the book, Corporal Punishment of
Schoolgirls by Margaret Stone, the former captain of the England
womens cricket team was quoted as saying: "Both my parents
were physical education teachers and they were good with their
aim. It did me a lot of good - it certainly didn`t do me any
harm."
Rachel Sa - In
and article in The Toronto Sun responding to The Canadian Supreme
Court ruling (30th Jan, 2004) upholding parents right to spank,
the Canadian journalist argued that there was a place for
spanking on occasion, and talking of her own upbringing added:
"There were levels of punishment and spanking was the most
extreme and least often used. I don't want to turn this into an
"I was spanked and turned out fine" argument, but when
I was spanked - three or four times, if I remember correctly - it
was because I had crossed a boundary that was well known to me.
It served its purpose."
Rachel
Johnson - In The Spectator, 29th May 2004, the
British journalist and sister of Spectator editor and
Conservative MP, Boris Johnson, writing an article on the issue
of corporal punishment said she was slippered at school by her
headmaster for stealing chocolate bars from the tuck cupboard.
The following paragraph is from the article.
That reminds me. To paraphrase
Samuel Butler, sparing the rod does not always spoil the child.
At prep school, the headmaster offered me the choice of the
slipper or forgoing an exeat as my punishment for breaking into
the tuck cupboard at night with a boy called Savile and stealing
Mars Bars. (He reserved the golf club and Jokari bat for even
more actionable offences.)
I chose the slipper with glee. (Enter for Picture)

at the same time to soften the blows.

Tess Chierici -
The editor of American College newspaper, The Voice, wrote the
following in her column in the October 2002 issue.
The good times rolled on.
Occasionally, the times were too good, and we'd get in trouble.
Once, when we were secretly lighting bottle rockets in tall, dry
grass, Curt accidentally dropped the match. Much to our surprise,
the grass immediately caught on fire.
At first we thought the situation was funny. We tried to stomp
out the small fire. But after five minutes watching the flames
grow, we realized we had a problem. Around the time we were going
to confess and get help, Mom happened to glance out the window.
She didn't find the situation funny at all. Mom and a neighbor
spent 30 minutes trying to keep the flames from reaching the
house. Needless to say, the situation ended with a couple of
sound spankings.
Spankings were usually bonding times for Curt and me because we
always got them together. I remember once we stuffed our pants
with toilet paper to absorb the impact of the blow. Mom caught on
when she saw us waddling in with big grins on our faces. One look
at our over-stuffed britches, and she decided we'd bear our
reprimand bare-bunned.
Vivienne
Westwood - In the famous fashion designer`s
biography it was mentioned that when she was at primary school,
instead of queing for the toilet like several other girls were,
she decided to use the boys toilet instead and got a slap from
the teacher for it. And later when she attended Grammar School,
one of her classmates recalls how Vivienne was argumentative and
a bit humpy after she had been chastised by the biology teacher.
Xaviera
Hollander - In her biography, Child No More, the
Dutch writer talks of being spanked by her father in childhood.
She describes her mother`s strict regime including spying on her
dates, reading her diary entrances, and instructing her father to
chastise her for any breach of respectable behaviour. She
particularly focuses on a time as a teenager when she was taken
across her father`s knee and had her bare bottom spanked after
her mother had found an entry in her diary she found shocking.
Zora
Neale Hurston - On page 51 of the American writer`s
biography, Wrapped in Rainbows, it talks about her schooldays at
Florida Baptist Academy, Alabama, and although academically
excellent she would often get into trouble as a teenager through
her habit of talking back to authority figures. Part of the
school discipline policy was the administering of spankings, and
Zora received several "lickings" herself.
