I Got The Cane In School 6 Of The Best

I didnt get six of the best but, I did get two strokes of the cane in front of the whole school assembly. I was 15 at the time and I was absolutely mortified especially as parents were allowed to sit at the back during assemblies. I'm only thankful mine were not present. I can just imagine their shame if they would have wittnesed me being called to the stage to be caned.

Was it usual for canings to be administered in assembly?
@MartinII It wasn't all that common but it did happen

@Lacylyn Thanks. I’m rather in favour of cp in public. Everyone knows exactly what is involved, and there’s a strong deterrent against abuse or excessive severity. And, as your original post described, the public humiliation is part of the punishment.

I never got caned in assembly but a group of us got slippered in assembly in primary school.

The cane stings like nothing else

@Subsumedpat Amen to that!

Thank you for your fascinating and concise account, which raises so many questions. I did have friends at other schools with assembly canings or strappings, but I believe it was super rare. What year would this have been, roughly (not wanting a lady to divulge her age more precisely than this site does)?

How old were you when that happened?

@Sharon A bit unfair actually, wasn´t it, as I suppose the boys got in on their trouser, meaning they were protected by two layers of clothing, and you girls only by one? Or did you go to an only girls´ school?

@Zsuzsanna1 Mixed sex school and boys did get it through their trousers. We did too, in sixth form where we were allowed to wear trousers.

I suppose it was unfair but, as others have said, nothing like as unfair as those schools where boys were caned and girls all but let off for identical offences.
@Zsuzsanna1 I was 15

I can count myself lucky really I only got wacked in the privacy of the heads office or in our own classroom
@Normanwestie I suppose it was up to the Head to decide on how and where it was administered.

This was in high school. the most painful punishment we got was the English master. His trick was to hit you with the edge of a steel 12" rule
@Lacylyn At my school canings were in the head's. or deputy head's. office but slipperings were administered anywhere.

A strange arrangement, that parents were allowed to attend school assembly. Did many do so? What was the rationale for it?
@MartinII Hi. Parents could sit at the back during assembly. It was just something the school always did. I think it was just the schools way of being transparent

Why were parents at assembly surely it was before school
@angie8819 It was just what the school did. They were allowed to sit at the back of the hall. I suppose it was to allow them to see first hand how the school ran
angie8819 · 56-60, F
@Lacylyn I never seen parents at assembly before
