showers after practice for student teacher

by Lauren

Jun 23, 2009

I am student teaching PE at a Texas high school this summer and one of my assignments is to supervise "open gym" for basketball games. My supervisor has encouraged me to join in the games, which is fine with me as a former basketball player.

The only problem is, I get extremely hot and sweaty by the time the afternoon is over...See More

newteacher Hi Audrey!

I was curious about what you were wearing that made you look like a student? Did you protest when the teacher told you to take down your pants? I imagine getting it on the bare would be embarassing, and as bad as the spanking itself.

Did anyone else witness the spanking, or did anyone find out about it later? Thanks fo...See MoreHi Audrey!

I was curious about what you were wearing that made you look like a student? Did you protest when the teacher told you to take down your pants? I imagine getting it on the bare would be embarassing, and as bad as the spanking itself.

Did anyone else witness the spanking, or did anyone find out about it later? Thanks for sharing.

I totally understand your decision. Being mistaken for a student is bad, being mistaken for a student doing something that you shouldn't be doing that threatens your job is worse. Better to take the spanking, bad as it might have been!

And several new or student teachers have described taking a paddling so they would have experienced corporal punishment in the event they were ever to administer it, send students to be paddled, or witness paddlings.
