I Was Caned At School

We were kept under control by the swishing of a cane across our backsides. Into the Office or other place of punishment and after a short lecture - which you always agreed with no matter if it was true (I think it was!) and then the dreaded instruction, 'Bend over.' I had to bend as tight as I could and then 3,4 or 6 strokes were swiped across me. It stung like crazy and made you want to jump up, but you dare not. At the end, you tried to walk out as if nothing had happened, but rubbed as hard as you could when you thought no-one was looking. Still impressed today.

We got the slipper mostly, the cane was reserved for more serious matters but was still in frequent use. There weren't many lessons where nobody got the slipper and there always seemed to be a queue of boys and girls up for the cane.

I wouldn't say we were kept under control by it, going by the number of times my contemporaries and I got it.

@Sharon it may not have kepted you under control but i expect it kept down the number of offences

@chikki It might have deterred a few but many of us saw it as a challenge to overcome.

Thanks for that short, sharp and to the point description of our bygone era.

in actual fact the last bthing you should have done was rub your caned msarked bottom over trousers or pants. The material rubbing on the narks tended to make it more sore. IAT WAS BEST EITHER to rub yur bare bottom with your hands or to grasp your cheeks firmly...in reality once your bottom had been caned their was little yu could do to reduce the sting...you just had to wait for it o go.

So many of us can relate to that experience
