Corporal punishment survey
Hi, I don’t know if this forum can help, but I’m trying to put together some realistic data regarding the use of corporal punishment in schools.
Reading this and other internet sources of information it is clearly very hard to distinguish between genuine accounts of CP, peoples fantasies, and role play.
School punishment books are difficult to find, or access. When they are available they only show the information that the establishments wished to disclose. They also only reflect official punishments, generally administered by the Head, consequentially they are not very representative of the general use of CP within schools.
If I study references in the media, the reports are generally only written when the incident was questionably outside the law. In England where I live, and indeed went to school, corporal punishment was legally practiced up until 1986. Therefore there would be no reason for the media to cover anything except the unusual.
Many of us however have witnessed (often first hand) the use of corporal punishment at school. If you have (as indeed have I) I’d be very grateful if you’d reply to this post giving as much accurate information as you feel comfortable with. However to keep this thread out of the realm of fantasy, I’d ask that you only post facts, and leave the creative writing and long discussions to other forums.

Hello N. Thomas,
Girls received the ruler on their upper thighs and boys right across our bums.
So the girls got it on their bare thighs while the boys got it over clothing? It sounds as if the girls got it more severely than the boys. As it was a female teacher, I’m wondering why she would not have punished the girls on the bottom over the skirt.

I have read these stories with interest and it seems a lot of posters with a similar age to me had similiar experiences. At primary school I had had the odd spanking or slaps around the back of the legs. I got a right shock at secondary school, a catholic boys grammar, when I realised how much coporal punishment was used. Different teachers had different methods but the slipper was the most common, then the strap or the cane. Although as you got older you were more likely to be caned.
My first time was aged 11
Year 1974
Given by French Teacher – Male
Reason – fighting with ruler with boy behind me
Where – outside class with one other boy who was slippered before me
Given – across bottom
Position – Bending over touching toes
Clothes – full, wearing trousers
Method – Slipper
Number – six
Did I get slippered for same offence – No
Effective – Yes
It was the first of several punishments over the years which I will post later
Location – catholic grammar in Sidcup, Kent UK-rather not give name.
Other comment – from these punishments I later developed a fascination with cp and spanking, although have had few opportunities to indulge (mainly a series sessions with a friend about 9 years ago)- would be interested to hear from others who feel the same if you reply to this I have left my email.

Miss Kamer was a very strict disciplinarian and did not hesitate to whack anyone who misbehaved in her class. Interestingly I think she preferred boys to girls for some reason because she spoke rather harshly to the girls compared to the boys. She ended up whacking more boys than girls but when a girl misbehaved she seemed to be more severe with them. She raise the dress up slightly so she could whack the upper thighs of girls, where their school knickers were just visible.

It was the first time that I had seen girls receive the cane. We were lined up in front of the headmasters desk and he called each of us forward and we were ordered to raise our right hand and we received three strokes on the right hand and then we had to hold out our left hand and we received three strokes on the left and then we had to stand back in line and then the next in line was called forward. The girls were caned first and then I was next to be caned. We were fighting back tears as we were sent back to class.

This was the first time that I received six strokes of the cane. I remember waiting outside the Headmaster’s office the door was closed and I heard the cane being administered. I could hear the swish and the thwack sound of the cane which did little to help my nerves. After a couple of minutes the door opened and a boy emerged wincing. The Headmaster had three crook handled canes in a cabinet, he flexed the cane in front of me, ordered me to bend oaver ahd touch my toes. He walked behind me, told me how many strokes I was going to receive and he tapped my bottom three times with the cane before administering my punishment. The cane left red tramlines and light bruising on my bottom. The cane stung terribly and it was a good half to one hour before I could sit down without wincing.

Caned at 14 at boarding school 1949 for insubordination.Administered by the headmaster.Six strokes with the senior cane.In his study bent over the caning table.Dress,normal school uniform,caned over trousered bottom.Caned in private,no one else present if you were up to six.In the event of a very,very rare 12 stroke caning then you would need to be held down over the caning table by another member of the staff.Discipline at the school was very severe and the canings extremely hard and a normal healthy boy could just about take a headmasters six whithout losing ‘position’.However,in the headmasters absence the biology teacher would be required to administer disciplinary canings for he had a reputation as the hardest caner in the school.Not suprisingly when he was on ‘caning’ duty nere a boy ever needed one!The school seemed to have a policy that if a boy was caned realy hard enough and feel it for days after then he would’nt need caning again for the rest of his time at the school.Well,maybe so,or maybe not,but it more than worked for me!

Reading this and other internet sources of information it is clearly very hard to distinguish between genuine accounts of CP, peoples fantasies, and role play.
School punishment books are difficult to find, or access. When they are available they only show the information that the establishments wished to disclose. They also only reflect official punishments, generally administered by the Head, consequentially they are not very representative of the general use of CP within schools.
If I study references in the media, the reports are generally only written when the incident was questionably outside the law. In England where I live, and indeed went to school, corporal punishment was legally practiced up until 1986. Therefore there would be no reason for the media to cover anything except the unusual.
Many of us however have witnessed (often first hand) the use of corporal punishment at school. If you have (as indeed have I) I’d be very grateful if you’d reply to this post giving as much accurate information as you feel comfortable with. However to keep this thread out of the realm of fantasy, I’d ask that you only post facts, and leave the creative writing and long discussions to other forums.

Many thanks for your participation. I will reply to this post myself with the details of the CP I received.
Note: I see no reason why schools should not be named as they were operating completely within the law.
Here goes then! Please note that a list of EVERY punishment would fill a book, so treat this as “edited highlights”!
