Oh, I long for those lovely days being rude was a bad thing.

@Mamapolo2016 Ah, but in the good old days, sexist lunchtime comments should have been recognized for what they are, namely, sexual harassment and verbal assault and no "guest" deserves a polite response while engaged in such illegal and rude conduct.

It is good that you hold no grudges as 3 strokes of the cane seems a bit harsh for your offence - especially as you had not been trouble before. Did you get it touching your toes or have to bend over a chair?

We had to bend across a large padded leather chair and I still cringe when I see large brown leather chairs!

Were girls slippered at your school for minor offences? I would have thought the slipper would have been more appropriate in your case

@Rebecca54 Maybe it was harsh. The slipper was an option but not much used. The Head was in favour of using the cane whenever she could.

I had to bend over the end of her desk to be punished

@Rebecca54 we got ito in heads study usually across the desk
@sarafina I realize that the cane is no longer an option but another change is the definition of fault.

Male worker comments on students would generate a complaint (justified in my opinion) of sexual harassment. Maybe loosely speaking, a worker is a guest, but now students are not to be messed with. This alleged "guest" is the one who should have gotten the three strokes.

Was the cane given over your skirt, sarafina, or did you have to pull up or take off your skirt first?

@SteveH1954 I was given the cane over my skirt

@SteveH1954 In my school girls always had to lift their skirts to have the slipper or cane. It was the same in my husband's school but boys had to drop their trousers for it too.

Was yours a girl's school or co-ed?
sarafina · 61-69, F
@Regfries It was an all girls school

As I went to the same school as you and was also caned so I know how you felt. Trouble is with me I did not learn my lesson and ended up being caned 3 times in total. I think the Head was a sadist who loved caning girls.
