Did anyone get the cane off the head at school?
I had the dubious privilege of bending over for it six times at secondary school. It never seemed to hurt less!

I managed to avoid it. In a strange way I wish I had been caned at least once.
Were you naughty, or unlucky, to get it six times?

@jennypenny: What offences earned the cane at your school?

Smoking topped the league table for us, I think.

@MartinII: In my school it was mostly smoking, truancy and persistent misbehaviour that earned us the cane. Skipping detention or failing to do lines could result in a caning but usually just resulted in a serious slippering. Skirt too short and other uniform offences were also usually dealt with by a slippering.
The cane was only used by the headmaster, deputy headmistress and the year heads (1 male; 1 female)). I was caned by all four of them at different times. Other teachers only used the slipper.

@jennypenny: My wife got the cane when she was at school for rolling the waistband of her skirt to shorten it. At my school, girls were regularly slippered in class for the same offence.

@NortiusMaximus: Rolling the waist band was treated as a more serious offence than just having too short a skirt. I was caned for that one too.
