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.

@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.
