Sapphorian Obedience Schools are specialist schools designed to reform unruly girls. Their regime is extremely strict and punishing, equal parts punishment and correction. Only very badly behaved young women are sent to these schools, and most return entirely broken and submissive.

History

Some time after the adoption of humiliation-based punishments at high schools, the Sapphorian Government began having a problem with small numbers of girls rejecting the school's authority entirely. While most girls reacted to the advent of stripping, spanking and other such punishments by being as well-behaved as they could in order to avoid them, a few chose open rebellion, doubling down and exhibiting worse behaviour, no matter how naked or spanked they got. The problem was somewhat controlled by the arrival of bondage as a punishment, as physically restraining these girls prevented misbehaviour for the duration of the punishment's time, but when behaviour still failed to improve, the Sapphorian Educational Control System (SECS) decreed that they should be removed from their schools lest they influence others.

With hundreds of girls excluded from school, this tactic was a temporary reprieve at best. A number of proposed solutions were put forward, ranging from compulsory military service, through imprisonment, private educational initiatives all the way to mass exile. The only solution that could be agreed was specialist schools to house these girls and educate them as best as possible. It was agreed early on that they could not be softer than regular high schools, lest it encourage other girls to rebel in order to be moved to one. The Education Ministry ended up going hard the other way and making them the most punishing they could possibly be, dialling everything about their old schools up to 11.

Boarding

All obedience schools board the girls, with a girl sent to one committed to a minimum of one 13-week term. Most stay longer. The girls are not allowed off school property without permission, which will only be granted to girls showing exceptional good behaviour. Even on weekends, the girls must remain in the school grounds and can be placed in restraints if they attempt to leave.

Girls sleep in communal dormitories, typically berthing 10-20 girls each. There is little in the way of privacy. Showers are communal and there is no private changing area. Girls are inspected each morning and evening. They are made to rise at 6 and must stand by their beds in only their panties as teachers and prefects search them. After this, they must shower together, and once dried, stand naked by their beds until a teacher or prefect says so. Only then will they be permitted to dress and head to breakfast.

This ritual is repeated on an evening, when again they must stand in their panties by their beds for inspection. The girls are permitted to don a nightie after inspection, which must be removed before the following morning's inspection. All nightwear must be sheer to ensure the girls are not concealing anything.

Every inch of the dormitory, showers and even toilet stalls is covered by CCTV, ensuring the girls are able to hide nothing.

Uniform

Uniform rules are strictly enforced by the school and there is no chance of breaking them. Panties are inspected daily and blouses and skirts are expected to be immaculate, or else they will be confiscated. The uniforms tend to be even more uncomfortable and revealing than regular high school uniforms, and it is common for blouses to be translucent. Because the girls are issued everything except panties and bras on arrival at the school, socks and shoes are identical and reputed to be very uncomfortable until broken in. Stockings, piercings and any other form of accessories are strictly banned. The only items permitted are scrunchies and clips for the purposes of securing hair and these will be provided on request by the school to ensure they are regulation. Tattoos will be removed by laser before the girl is even allowed to attend.

Hairstyles must be neat and no other hair is permitted on the girl's body. She is expected to shave her legs, armpits and pubic hair daily and will be stripped, restrained and have it done for her in front of her peers if she fails to do so. Girls are not allowed to dye their hair and will have it all shaved off if they defy this rule.

Other school rules

Girls are not allowed mobile phones and anyone caught with one will spend at least a week naked. If a girl wishes to bring any other personal effects into the school with her, she must submit them for inspection when she arrives. Confiscated items are returned when she goes home at the end of term.

Girls at these schools do not have any rights, and staff may strip, spank and otherwise punish them as they see fit, within the usual restrictions of being unable to cause injury. Clothing will often be confiscated for days or even weeks at a time and girls may be required to report several times a day for spankings. Staff at these institutions are vetted even more rigorously than regular high school teachers following a scandal in the third era in which teachers were found to be using pupils as de-facto sex-slaves, however it remains common for girls to trade sexual favours to the staff for preferential treatment or to avoid the worst punishments, though this behaviour is not tolerated when detected.

Educational programme

The lessons themselves follow the standard Sapphorian Educational Control System curriculum to ensure that girls can reintegrate into their old schools upon release. Classes obey the same hyper-strictness as the rest of the system, and all chairs are equipped with restraints so that disobedient girls can be subdued with minimum disruption. Talking out of turn, failing to work and failing to maintain a presentable appearance are all punishable, as are many other undesirable behaviours.

Most obedience schools do not have a sports kit and require girls to do sport in their underwear.

Extra-curricular Activities

All girls attending obedience school are required to participate in an after-school activity at least three times a week, and will be placed in one of the less desirable after-school clubs if they fail to do so. The more desirable clubs include fitness, dance, art and craft activities, while the less desirable ones include most sport clubs, "pony girl" clubs, in which girls will be forced to pull carts, lapdancing clubs, which are exactly what they sound like, and slavery clubs, in which girls are "trained" as slaves as a warning of the path they may be on if they do not improve their behaviour and engage with their education.

Punishments

As mentioned above, all of the punishments available to regular high schools, including stripping, spanking, bondage and humiliation are also used in obedience schools, with fewer controls on their limitations.

Punishment plinths are used in obedience schools, and most are also equipped with restraints. Unruly girls will first spend time restrained on the plinth, then later be required to stand unrestrained to demonstrate their submission. Repeated infractions will result in longer corrections, fewer clothes and greater restraint. In line with criminal justice regulations, the maximum time a girl can spend restrained in a single day is 10 hours and she must be allowed recovery time afterwards if she is restrained for longer than 4.

The schools place a great emphasis on submission to authority and the girls are required to show great deference to the staff. Rudeness to a teacher or other staff member will often result in the girl being collared and led around naked by that staff member on a leash (in restraints if necessary) until she has shown sufficient submission and penance.

Obedience schools also employ the use of cages, and girls can be placed in them for long periods of time, or even made to sleep in them if their behaviour is especially bad. The cages tend to be placed, like the punishment plinth, in high-traffic areas of the school and girls locked in them are usually naked. Cages range in size from those large enough for a girl to walk around in to ones in which they are forced to their hands and knees. The smaller the cage, the less time the girl is permitted to be kept in it, with cell-sized cages able to be utilised for up to 12 hours and the smallest box-cages, which allow almost no movement at all limited to an hour a day.

Leaving an obedience school

Most girls sent to one of these schools very quickly realise that the remainder of their time at school will be unbearable if they do not find a way to be accepted back into the mainstream education system, and so do what they must to satisfy their teachers that they can be allowed to leave.

At the end of each term, each girl is assessed on two main metrics: her educational scores, which are an aggregated total of her exams and coursework, and her "obedience score," which is determined by the teachers.

Educational scores are assessed relative to the girl's grades at the time she was committed to the school, and the teachers will be looking for improvement, rather than for a particular passing or failing grade (since intelligence and academic prowess varies from girl to girl.) In general, staff will look for a significant improvement.

Obedience scores are more subjective, with teachers preparing a report on each girl each term, detailing levels of compliance, punishments received, overall scores in how polite, helpful, well turned-out and submissive the girl is. Only a very high score will be enough to secure the girl's release and return to normal school.

The average time that it takes for a girl to meet the criteria to leave an obedience school is one year. (Three terms.) Many girls fall just short in their second term, usually on obedience score, and it is in these circumstances that more unscrupulous staff have accepted sexual favours from girls in return for nudging their obedience score over the line a term early.

Each girl who attains adequate educational and obedience scores must undertake one final test before she is allowed to leave. In front of the girl's peers, parents, the entire school staff and any visitors who wish to attend, the girl performs a series of menial actions, (stand up, kneel down, put your hands on your head, now put them to your side, etc) which she must perform completely naked, answering "Yes, Miss" after each command. The final test takes about ten minutes, and the girls are generally done one after another in a single afternoon on the last day of term.
