I Used to Get the Cane At School

When I was at school there was regularly a queue of boys and girls (mostly 4th, 5th and 6th forms) waiting to be caned for smoking. I was in the queue, along with a few friends, a few times myself.

I was first caned at school when I was 10, after a playground roundup by a an over zealous prefect.

There was a queue of about 15 of us in front of the duty playtime teacher's class.

This was a London school and a lighter junior school cane was used for pupils who misbehaved, it was always given on the palm, normally just one stroke.

I was feeling very nervous, but also a little excited, as I wanted to know what it was like and be able to say "I've had it".

Being caned in a large group by a a less familiar teacher, made it quite impersonal, better than getting it on your own in front of your class by your own teacher!

I was about 9th in the queue. When my turn came, I held out my hand and received a good hard stinging stroke. When the sting had subsided a bit and I was back in my own class, I was happy that I had been initiated!

@SW-User Sounds like a rather civilised form of caning. I do think that relatively minor corporal punishment of the kind you describe was much more sensible, and effective, than lines, detentions and so forth - so long as it wasn’t overused.

@MartinII That's right, 1 stroke was normally enough. The teachers weren't sadistic, they were just doing what they saw as part of their job.
