I Witnessed Corporal Punishment At School

Back in the late 1960s I taught for a term at a boys' prep school before going up to university. One morning, the matron came into the staff room and announced "P****** was caned last night". What I remember particularly was the slight lascivious smirk on her face as she said it. I assume the boy was actually caned by the headmaster, but I'm sure the matron wished she could have administered the caning herself.

@canemesir6 you make it sound as if you were the only one to get caned. In the 1960/70 era certainly in private schools between the ages of 8-13 it would have been very rare for a boy not to have been caned at least once and most woukkd have averaged at least one caning a year in the 10-13 age group. Also its worth noting most privare schools caned on the bottom rather than the hands. These private schools as a rule made boys drop their trousers before bending over and were caned across their pants.....however in many private schools pants had to be pulled down as well and the cane used on the offenders bare bottom. It was common for boys to get caned on their bare bottom......going back to my school days i was very often on the receiving end of a hard bare bottom caning. You just bared your bottom and bent over....no shock horror that you were going to be caned nor that yu had to take your pants down, nor that as i was in an all boys school the rest of the class witnessed you getting it bare.
