I Received Corporal Punishment At School

I was given the cane a few times during my time at secondary school.
During my first 2 yrs I was given the slipper more times than anyone else and was given a prize for it.
Turned out my then form tutor was gay. And was getting off on it every time.

I don't think you were alone in 'discovering' that kind of thing was going on. I'm pretty sure a few (only a few) teachers used the excuse of corporal punishment for their own satisfaction.

@Frank52 I'd say it was more than a few.
@Sharon Possibly. I can only go on my personal experience.

@Frank52 In schools where only boys were caned, teachers obviously had other methods of dealing with misbehaving girls that they had absolute total confidence would be effective. They could have used those same methods with boys. The fact that they chose to use CP instead strongly suggests an ulterior motive.
@Sharon I understand what you're suggesting. I went to an all boys school from 11 and didn't know any different. I have known a few honourable men who believed in occasional corporal punishment of boys who I don't believe has ulterior motives. I also experienced those who, on reflection, were a bit too eager to tell us to bend.
