I Used to Get the Cane At School

The slipper and cane were used at both my schools. They both hurt but the cane was always regarded as more serious and significant. At junior school only the head used the cane but at my secondary other senior masters like the deputy head and heads of year could cane.

At junior school the head caned on the hands. I got it twice there, one stroke the first time and two on each had the other time. That really hurt! And it took a long time for me to hold out both hands but the head just carried on despite my tears.

At secondary school the cane was always on the bottom whoever gave it. I got it eight times there in all from first year to lower sixth.

The cane was used quite a lot by the headmaster, deputy headmistress and the year heads. at my secondary school. We had to lift our skirts to have it across our knickers but the boys usually got to keep their trousers up. The slipper (plimsoll) was used a lot more in class.

At my all-boys boarding school, all masters could (and did) can and slipper. It was always no the bottom. It was the natural order, and it was perfectly ordinary in showers, dormitories etc to see other boys with fresh cane marks or slipper-blotches on their bottoms, even when wearing underpants, either because the marks often/usually strayed beyond the edges, or because they were vivid enough to show through our pants, which were white cotton. The formal beatings in the Head's study were always harder and more intense
