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.
