Girl, 14yo, France, Development assessment in a Montessori school

I am female. It happened in Western Europe, ina smaller city in France, 1980-1989, 14 years old. The school told us it was a special examination day and we should report to room 30, a room in the school that was preliminary prepared for the event.

The school sent a general flyer home with us for our parents to read a week beforehand. It said they should send us to school that day without underwear or shoes and in light comfortable clothes and freshly bathed. It happened to all children in my school of the age group.
They did our entire grade but split us up into groups because only so many could fit in the room at once.

PREPARATION AND ARRANGEMENTS:

I was totally naked through all the procedures. I had to strip totally naked before the exam. I got a blood pressure monitor wrapped around a limb. I did not get any anesthesia, except something to swallow.

They brought us to this special multi-purpose room. It was possible to use for stage performances but the seats were taken away and we all just stood in a group. The group of doctors told us to remove all of our clothing and the teachers came around and took it all away. Nobody had any problem with it we just obeyed.

A few nurses went around and inspected our bodies quickly jotting down some notes. They also handed out little paper cups of medicine but there was only a few drops in each.

EXAMINATION WITH EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT

They examined my stomach area with and an ultrasound device or something similar. They examined my hip area with an ultrasound device or something similar. They examined my genitals with an ultrasound device.

INTERNAL EXMINATIONS

They inspected the inside of my urethra and bladder with a scope. They inspected my vagina with a scope. They inspected me through my vagina with an ultrasound probe. The doctor explored my vagina with a finger.

MORE ABOUT HOW THE EVENT PROCEEDED

They checked us all together in this room but I noticed only the boys were being checked in the butt. It felt unusually good and warm being touched by them. They mostly crouched to inspect us and used small flashlights. There was a lot of feeling and pulling on pubic hair. Some pubic hair samples were pulled out gently and put in bags. Two doctors spent a lot of time pulling on my clitoral hood to expose the glans.

They seemed to finish examining us and asked us to stand or sit on the floor whatever was comfortable and $%!@e. They encouraged us all to look at each other and to vocalize what we were thinking about. Most of the girls were too shy, but the boys went ahead right away. Some nurses came around to the girls who didn't $%!@e and held our hands bringing them to our genitals. one whispered in my ear to go ahead it's part of the examination. Eventually we all did.

After a half hour of $%!@ing we were mostly all finished. They handed out some paper towels to clean up ourselves and our area. One boy hit me with his semen but he looked very embarrassed so I didn't get upset. Afterwards they told us to go back to our homeroom class.

I asked for my clothes they said you have already been seen. I said not everyone from my class is here but they just sent me out and said you'll be seeing everyone else from your class so it's fair. After the second group it didn't seem strange anymore a few naked boys and girls coming into the room almost all of them a little wet in the genitals and we compared notes finding out we all went through the same thing. Once everyone in the class had been through the exam they gave us back our clothes and said we could go home.

THE SCHOOL I ATTENDED

I went to a Montessori school. I thought it was a relatively normal school, but I found out later it was what you would call a special school like a Montessori school. The main difference is we could come or not come as we pleased if we didn't feel like attending for a while.

COMMENTS

This seems to be an exam to check out the physical and sexual development of each kid, something which seems to be done in all Montessori schools, but not always with exactly the methods described here. Highly probably the kids were videotaped secretly during the event and the videos used to assess each kid. Probably the event was also a part in some research project.
