Thanks for your response. Yes I’m sure being caned must have been very unpleasant, but it was meant to be! Were you in tears after each of your canings, or did you try to remain stoical so that you didn’t give the headmistress the satisfaction of seeing you crying? I should imagine that, when you were taking that last caning of 6 strokes over your knickers, it must have been very difficult to avoid crying!
Did you tell your parents that you’d been caned at school – or were they told by the headmistress anyway? If they did know, what was their reaction? Some people used to get a further punishment at home if they’d been punished at school – I hope you weren’t one of them!
If you were trying to keep it a secret from them, I suppose you had to be careful for a few days afterwards that they (or anyone else at home) didn’t accidentally catch sight of your bare bottom!
I was friendly with one of those three boys I mentioned who had been caned by the Headmaster for fighting, and he told me the next day that his younger sister happened to see his marked bottom that evening when he was about to have a bath. Apparently she threatened to tell his parents and he had to bribe her to keep her quiet. A typically annoying younger sister!

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 Keith,
Of course being caned was meant to be an unpleasant experience and if you avoided it then all the better. Having been caned once you would have thought that I would want to avoid being caned again. There is something within a child though which makes them want to push the boundaries as far as they can and hope you would not get caught. Sadly for me I did not manage to avoid being caught and had to pay the price.
I am afraid that I did not avoid crying when I had been caned. The first experience was when I was 12 and 3 stinging whacks brought tears to my eyes. All hopes of being brave went out of the window. Maybe I managed to avoid full on tears in the Heads office but I remember crying my eyes out in the toilets afterwards following receiving 6 strokes. It was especially difficult to have to go back into a class having tried to compose myself and then sit down very gingerly when to all members of the class it was obvious what had happened. No chance of hiding it there.
My parents were aware because the school told them of all my canings but thankfully they felt that the canings were sufficient physical punishment so did not inflict any more corporal punishment on me. That is not to say that I was not caned at home but that were entirely separate from my school offences.

Hello Diane,
So your parents used a cane to punish you at home? I know it was reasonably common for parents to keep a cane at home back in the 50’s and even the 60’s, but I would have thought it was quite unusual by the 70’s. I remember my mother occasionally threatening to get a cane when I was being especially obnoxious, but thankfully she never did. I did have to drop my trousers and underpants and bend over the arm of the sofa for the slipper (actually a plimsoll) a few times at home. Most times it was four whacks, but a couple of times in my early teens I got six – that really hurt and had me bawling like a baby!
Which parent usually caned you – or could it be either? How many strokes did you usually get, and was it administered on your bare bottom or over your knickers? How did your canings at home compare in severity to the ones you got at school?

Hi Diane & Keith
I only received one caning back in about 1971. I was caught with some other boys cycling along a footpath. We had been warned not to do this about a month before as someone was nearly knocked over by a cyclist but it had slipped our minds.
There was a spot check by a member of staff and we ended up in front of the Head. We were not in trouble that often and we were terrified during the stern lecture about disobedience. It may be because we were not regularly in trouble that we got a choice of detention or a stroke of the cane. We were sent out to make up our minds while the Head took a phone call.
I can well remember that it was a long two minutes and we changed our minds several times but felt we should all have the same punishment. I couldn’t make up my mind – I was curious as to what a caning would be like as one of my other class mates had been caned a few days before but was equally scared. In the end one of the other boys said he would have the cane as he didn’t want to do detention and the other opted for a whack as well. It made up my mind for me.
The door opened and the Head asked what we had decided and he told us to line up in alphabetical order of surname. I remember I was second. The first boy went in a my legs went to jelly when I heard a faint swish and thwack through the door. He came out gave a brave smile and told me to go in. I was told to bend over the arm of a leather chair and grab the opposite arm. I remember the smell of the leather. It was all over in seconds as the thwack was followed by a burning sensation across my bottom. I was told to get up and send the next boy in.
Neither of us were in tears but we did examine our stipes in the toilets and bathed them with cold water using paper towels.
If you had the choice of detention or a whack of the cane which would you have chosen?

Hello Keith and Rickie,
If I could answer you both in one post.
Keith- I wish it was uncommon in my house for the parents not to have a cane. They were very strict though. I had an older brother and the form was for my father to cane him if it was warranted and for my mother to cane me. The canings took place in the privacy of our bedrooms with only the parent who was administering the punishment present. In my case my mother always insisted that I lower my knickers so she did cane me on my bare bottom up to a maximum of 6.My mother did not hold back so I would say that marginally her whackings were more painful as there was no protection. These were carried out of a number of years so were quite well spaced out. At least after she caned me I could blub into my pillow lying face down on my bed until the pain subsided.
Rickie-I would take a detention any time over the cane even if the detention lasted an hour I would say it was preferable to a stroke of the cane.
Diane

Hello Diane and Rickie,
You must have received quite a few canings at home Diane. How old were you when you got your first one, and how old when you got your last one? Can you remember how many times you got the full six strokes?
Was the cane a traditional school cane with a curved handle? Do you know how your parents had obtained it?
Did you get any other forms of corporal punishment at home (hand spankings, slipper, hairbrush, strap, etc.) or was it always the cane? I do think it must have been quite unusual for parents in the 70’s to use a cane at home, so you could probably regard yourself as unlucky. Or in retrospect, do you look back with gratitude that your parents used a cane to discipline you rather than a less severe instrument of punishment?
I got bare-bottom hand spankings over my mum’s knee up to the age of 8, and then I “graduated” to the slipper. As I mentioned before, my mum occasionally threatened to get a cane but she didn’t go through with it. I found the slipper quite painful enough, so I really don’t know how well I would have been able to take a caning on the bare.
Which brings me to Rickie’s question. I think if it was just one stroke of the cane, I would have opted for that rather than a detention. Like you, I might have been curious to see what it was like to be caned. I might even have chosen two strokes, but any more than two and I would have chosen the detention!

Hello Keith and Rickie,
Keith- It depends on your definition of many? Between the ages of 12 and 17 going on 18 probably no more than half a dozen at home. As for the cane itself I would say that it was the type that was used in the garden to grow things. Prior to caning I got a few slaps here and there but nothing really formal where I had to bend over so I guess I must have been quite well behaved up until the age of 12 or so.I don’t feel any gratitude that the cane was used on me and would have rather avoided it but hold no grudges towards my mother for using it on me. Maybe if she hadn’t I would have had to suffer missing out on trips with my friends as the alternative might have been to ground me so I suppose I should maybe be grateful for that. As you get older your pain threshold increases.
Keith and Rickie- I still don’t understand how you would not have opted for a detention rather than the cane even if it was only 1 stroke. Maybe it is a boy thing but I don’t get it. Give me detention any day.
Diane

Hello Diane,
Your parents’ cane sounds like a bamboo cane rather than a rattan cane of the kind that was used in schools. A bamboo cane is quite stiff, whereas a rattan cane is much more flexible and swishy.
How many of your mother’s canings were the full six strokes? As you said, the pain threshold tends to increase as you get older. So did the number of strokes you got increase with your age, or did you ever get six even when you were just 12 or 13 if you did something bad enough to warrant a severe punishment?
I don’t know whether my (and Rickie’s) opting for one cane stroke over trousers rather than a detention is a “boy thing”. For me, it would just have been a matter of getting the punishment over and done with quickly. A detention at my school was quite unpleasant. It took place at the end of the school day (which was at 4:00 in those days!) and we had to write 100 lines. When a detention was awarded, you were given the sentence to be written and the teacher supervising the detention had a list of the sentences that each boy had to write. The typical kind of sentence was something like “I must pay attention in class when the teacher is talking.” We had to remain there until we’d completed the lines and the teacher had checked them for general neatness and legibility, then we could leave. If the work was deemed unsatisfactory, it was possible to be given another detention for the following day, so we couldn’t rush the writing. I had a couple of detentions, and I think it took me over an hour to write my lines on each occasion, so it wasn’t a “soft” punishment. That’s why I might have even settled for two cane strokes in preference to a detention, although it wouldn’t have been an easy decision.
The other aspect of getting a detention was that I obviously had to warn my parents that I would be late home on the following evening, so they knew I had misbehaved. Fortunately they didn’t give me an additional punishment at home though!
Were you ever given lines at school?

For relatively minor misdemeanours in PE lessons such as dirty kit we were offered the option of a one hour detention or two strokes of the slipper. This meant two whacks with a size 11 rubber-soled plimsoll administered with full force by a fit PE teacher. Although it hurt like hell and left a raised welt on your backside most boys opted for the slipper. I guess it was a matter of bravado or not wanting to appear a wimp that invariably the slipper was chosen. At least you didn’t have to sit in silence for an hour but just nursed a sore bottom.

Hello Keith/Bripuk,
As I got older the number of strokes my mother gave me increased. It was 3 at the start rising to 4 then when I was about 15 it was the full 6. I did get detention and had to write lines and all the teacher did when we had finished was to take a brief look at the paper and without studying it in detail screw the paper up and throw it in the bin. I guess they wanted to get home as well. I would have rather had a bit of writers cramp than a mark or 2 on my bottom and an uncomfortable evening sitting but that is just my view.
