I Got Caned At School

I attended a very old fashioned girls' school for the daughters of expats in sourthen Africa. I was caned five times in my six years at the school. Once each in second, third and fourth year and twice as a fifth-former. The cane was used only for the most serious offences (playing truant, serious insubordination). I got mine mainly for truancy and out of bounds. You got six strokes from the headmistress in her office, bending over a chair or her desk, skirt raised, through your knickers, and yes, it hurt a lot.

I was also an ex pat in Southern Africa, although in a different country. My school also used corporal punishment. Like at your school the cane was used rarely and only for serious offences. However other forms of corporal punishment were used much more frequently.

@isabelrider @JosieM: At my school (boys, England, late 50s and 60s) the cane was used for serious offences, like playing truant or smoking. But there was no other corporal punishment (with the usual exception of the gym). Strange, I think, that the school was willing to cane boys, from the age of 8, but not to spank or slipper them.

I mostly got the slipper at home and school but I got the cane for more serious matters. I was also caned or slippered by friends'parents. Other than at school, nearly all canings and slipperings were on my bare bottom.

The cane was used only for serious offences at my girls school in the UK as well. I got caned on the bottom twice and I can remember a chair in the head's office which was mainly used for girls to bend over!

@Lynda70 In my school it tended to be used more for the more serious offences but it definitely wasn't reserved only for them.

@Sharon A common phrase was “in the last resort”. But at my school it wasn’t that at all, it was for certain specific offences for which caning was deemed appropriate. The most serious offences were punished with suspension. A boy who was suspended wasn’t beaten, unless by his parents.

@MartinII Much the same at my school, definitely not "the last resort", quite often the first one.

Good to hear you were raised right (well, in my view!). Was there CP at home, too?

@ReggieFane i used cp at home
ReggieFane · 61-69, M
So glad to hear it. The anti-CP PC brigade is on the march here as always!

in my school usually only boys were caned but for serious offences girls would receive the cane
1olderguy20 · 61-69, M
@curious17 did you ever get the cane
Disciplinarian · 61-69, M
@curious17 Really? What school was using CP in the last decade then, per your stated age? I don't understand how this can be or where... please illuminate us.

Getting caned was normal at my school too. We knew the rules and what happened if you got caught. Every stroke was well deserved.

We got spanked with a hand, paddled, and whipped with a belt .. .. It was delivered with you bent over a desk and restrained pants and underware was lowered .. .. .. Three swats with the paddle was the start but you could get up to 5 .. .. the hand was used to make it last longer .. the Belt added if for not cooperating or serious things like drinking .. .. and yes it HURT !!

@ReggieFane Same in my school. Girls got it over their skirts.
Lynda70 · F
@SW-User We had to lift our skirts to have it across our knickers.

Did you hear of anyone getting more than six for serious or repeat offenses? Did your bottom have marks afterward?
isabelrider · 61-69, F
@MartinII a dozen is a lot! It’s agony!
MartinII · 70-79, M
I can imagine. What did you get a dozen for? @isabelrider
Disciplinarian · 61-69, M
@isabelriderI have noticed your wonderful posts about the good old days and values of CP, now sadly discredited in our country, and would love to chat about it.

I went to a Catholic high school. I was disciplined with a wooden paddle.

When you got the cane, did it mean you got smacked when you got home too?
Kresat · 70-79, M
That is for replay perhaps

Only canings were used as cp?
1olderguy20 · 61-69, M
I hear it's brutal

Were your knickers ever adjusted to expose more of your bum? Did the cane land mostly on your knickers or did your bare lower cheeks get attention, too.
