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.

@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.
