While I respect the argument that only parents should use cp, I think there’s another way of looking at it. When there was cp in schools, everone knew where they stood and how they would be dealt with if they transgressed, so there was, in principle, consistency (subject, admittedly, to occasional abuse or favouritism).
More personally, I much preferred to be dealt with in school than have to confess my misdemeanours to my parents!

@SherryBomb Thanks! Was there cp at your school?

@PaulDavies Yes: that was certainly the case for me, and most of my friends. We actually feared getting a school detention more than the cane. Four of six strokes is blisteringly painful with a school cane, but at least we kept our knickers on.
At home, a school detention was treated as an insult to my parents, as well as an insufficient punishment, and it invariably meant a caning from dad, usually a dozen strokes, and always on the bare. No wonder i hated detentions.

@GailCob I didn't get punished at home for getting into trouble at school but I was caned at home for misbehaviour there. At home I could expect at least a dozen on the bare. At school it could be as few as two although three or four was usual with six being something of a maximum and, as you say, at least we got to keep our knickers up.
