I Received Corporal Punishment At School

I WAS caned twice at school. The headmaster was a sadist. Once it was with half the class who had forgotten our homework. The other time, I was lined up in his office with a few other kids, and don't recall why.

The pain was excruciating. I (we) could not write or pick up a pen for the rest of the morning until the pain and trembling had stopped.

Our class teacher was a gentle and kind man, and was horrified that the headmaster caned us. He felt sorry for all those caned. We were all crying.

I'm totally against corporal punishment.

I got my butt busted at school for nothing while the bully's got away with murder. I appreciate all the GOOD teachers out there , but my daughters teachers are arrogant , hard headed, they make an example out of her for every little thing and do nothing about the bullying she endures. They just tell her to ignore them , yet when she retaliates she is punished. I believe in discipline but parents should be involved. Easy for teachers to be arrogant to children. Different story when parents are present. Teachers can't be held accountable by children. Seriously considering home schooling.

Depending on the region that it occurred in, that type of treatment is highly illegal. You could dump a ton of criminal charges on them, as well as a hefty lawsuit. Statute of limitations is different for each crime, so depending on how long ago it was, you may still be able to take legal action. Make him burn for such horrendous treatment of another human being....

I am sorry you have to experience such cruelty.

@Brenton, it was in primary school a long time ago, and in another country. I'm sure he's dead by now, as he was in his 50s or 60s then. In fact, the school no longer exists.

We also had two other very cruel teachers. One slapped the legs off of every child in the class for absolutely nothing, mine included, and the other loved to hit us with his ruler. He whacked my hand with that one time.

The thing I remember about these people is the intense passion they had for this particular act. I realize as an adult that it wasn't about what the kids had done, it was about them venting their frustration on the poor kids. Either this, or they were these fetish people that you found on EP and now on here.

They are all sick sadists in my mind, and children are their victims.

Me too, it's not the job of a school to punish in that way and even parents should be very careful with it, you can read here on daily base to what a frusties it can led.

@Carissimi, they punish her by not letting her go to recess or such as that.

@king, I abhor any type of violence, especially against children.

mee too. is a cane like a switch

@gregloa, is this happening today? I would forbid it.

My caning was 50-years ago, I was hoping things had changed by now. It was accepted back then, but I'm hoping society is more enlightened these days.

@EJT, a very long, very thin rod. Maybe you call it a switch. It doesn't really matter what is used, the important thing is it should not be used.

Don't allow anyone to use violence on you. These people are living in the dark ages.

Mae, in those days, there were so many horrible people in my surrounding, along with the kind ones. I'd say, 60-70% were mean, and 30-40% kind. Damn scary when you think about it.
