I Was Caned On The Hands In School

There seems to be a perception that girls received less corporal punishment at school than boys. Having taught in the era when corporal punishment was widespread and having chatted to many people on here, I am not sure that is actually true. However, I am sure there were some schools where boys received corporal punishment and girls did not. Personally I cannot see any reason at all for treating girls more leniently than boys. Girls benefit from firm discipline just as much as their male classmates.

@Jonathanzee When I was deputy, all boys private school, i often had to cane or slipper boys after school. This could be seen from the pathway leading to the field and not only could the slipper and cane be seen to be used but a clear view could be obtained of boys bending over the chair and the slipper or cane landing on a bare bottom. A girls school about ten minures away also used the cane but only on knickers. Both schools were 8-13. We closed early one day and some boys went up to the girls school with the intent of having a laugh at seeing if they could see a girl being caned. It appeared they saw three girls getting on their knickers before being caught. They were report to the head and it was demanded that i cane the boys bare bottoms and the girls headmistress was to be allowed in the office to see it. The head agreed and the five boys, all 11, were told to report to muy office after school where they would get six of the cane on their bare bottoms. The caning was carried out with the headmistress watching while i caned their bare bottoms.
About three weeks later the rolls were reversed. Six girls were watch some boys getting the slipper or cane and seeing it done on their bare bottoms. They were caught and reported. The headmistress refused point blank to punish the girls and said it was a natural thing for 12 year old girls to see a boy nude. She said it was the boys fault for being in trouble.
TAlk about double standards. If boys sneek into a girls school and see girls caned on their knickers they get six on their bare bottoms. However is girls sneek in to see the boys getting it, it is fully acceptable and the girls not punished and its the boys faults foe being in trouble.

The relationship between the two schools was, to say the least, very bad after this and remained so for about ten years.
