I Got Caned At School

[image deleted]
I can remember this picture appearing in the papers of girls protesting against caning in schools. Unfortunately for us headmistresses like mine didn't seem to take much notice of such things!

It's certainly a remnder of the days of short skirts! I got three strokes of the cane for wearing my skirt that short alng with 12 other girls on one occasion.

@jennypenny: your thighs must have looked like candy canes! 😂

We were caned on the bottom not the thighs @sirjames:

@jennypenny: Ah well that's not so bad. Some clothes over that area and plenty of flesh.

@sirjames: I got the slipper, along with many other girls, several times for having my skirt too short.

@Sharon: Serves you right! You shouldn't have exposed your thighs 👋🏻

@jennypenny: I think 3 strokes was rather severe for having a short skirt. 1 should be enough, to act as a deterrent or warning.

@Retrospection1: in all fairness to the head she had given us due warning which we hadn't heeded.

Funny to think that the young ladies pictured are now mature grandmothers in their 60s, probably complaining about the clothes their granddaughters are wearing and telling them that they should get the cane as they did in their day!

Absolutely! How time flies! @jackcros:
