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 was only ever sent to the Head once, in the Upper 6th, for going to the pub at lunchtime. If I hadn't been a sixth former I would certainly have been caned for that. As it was I was sent home for the rest of the afternoon and told I'd have to copy up any work I missed in my own time. I'd visited the Deputy Head twice previously for the same thing, with the same result.

@jennypenny: We had a choice of suspension or the cane. We all opted for the cane.

@Sharon: we weren't given a choice but suspension was out of the question

@jennypenny: As it was for us, the cane was the much better option. For less serious matters, we were offered the choice of detention or the slipper, as far as I know everyone chose the slipper.
