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.

did the matron have to watch ?

@Fgtyjhbndfdrgt I don’t know, but I think probably she would have taken him to the headmaster and watched while he was beaten. If so, I’m pretty sure she enjoyed it.

@MartinII Again conclusion is being reached without consideration of the facts. It was commom for the person reporting a boy to witness the punishment and in a lot of schools for the "protection" of the person administering the punishment another teacher was present, to prevent any unfounded complaints. I think it is rather unfair because matron witnessed the punishment to say she enjoyed it. It is another case of people jumping to conclusions about people who saw cp without knowing the reasons why they were present

@chikki I saw her the following morning, you didn’t. And I’m not jumping to, or in any other way reaching, conclusions. I’m merely speculating based on my own observations.
