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.

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.

When I was in school boys received CP at least 10 times more often than girls and the peak age for CP was around 14 or 15. This is very different from the spankings recorded here. Either, my schools were very unusually or those posting their experiences here are not a representative sample. Possibly, getting spanked is a very much bigger issue for girls than it was for boys.

<div style=”width:100%;background-image:url(“/realm/A_L_123/A_L_trg.gif”);”>Hello HeatherThank you for a most interesting account of your SCP misadventures. I am interested to note that while you were subjected to smacking and the slipper (presumably at Primary school) you seem to sometimes have incurred SCP on more than one occasion in a year. However when you arrived at your Girls’ Grammar School, where the cane was deployed by the Headmistress, the incidents you recount seem to be roughly annual, or at least one per birthday.

Would you be be prepared to tell us please if this was because you found the cane so unpleasant that the deterrent effect kept you from misbehaving for a longer period than hitherto or were you actually in trouble, and possibly subjected to SCP, on more frequent occasions at the Grammar school but have merely listed the annual ‘highlights’?

You will probably have observed during your time here that our earnest seekers after the truth are much concerned with the ameliorating effect that a skirt might have had when a schoolgirl was bent over and in receipt of the cane, as opposed to the fate of a trousered schoolboy in a similar predicament. Skirt lengths, fabrics, pleats etc., have been much discussed in this context, but for the most part no firm conclusions have been reached and more data is eagerly sought by the research team.

I note that in the case of your first caning, age 12, you mention that you were wearing a summer dress. I seem to recall that at that period (1962) lightweight gingham dresses were the summer uniform for many girls and, at least to an observer such as myself with no experience of either wearing a skirt or being caned, would certainly seem likely to have offered less protection than heavier weight and sometimes pleated skirts.

I wonder please, did you specifically mention ‘summer dress’ because your 3 strokes of the cane in that particular garment were a more memorable ordeal than your later 3 stroke canings in a school skirt? Or was the ‘summer dress’ mention prompted by the fact that your first ever caning remains rather clearer in your memory than later ones please? In that latter case, particularly if subsequent canings were not distinguished by any more memorable detail such as the despicable habit of some caners of folding back a skirt or dress, you might well tend to simply use the more generic term ‘skirt’ when describing them.</div>

Hello Heather,

Can I add my thanks for your latest post, detailing the various encounters that your bottom had with your headmistress’s cane!

My esteemed colleague, the indefatigable Another_Lurker, has raised the old thorny issue of the wearing of skirts and the effect of being caned over a skirt. My own particular take on this relates to the possible existence of a slight air gap between the skirt and the lower part of the bottom when bending over a desk. Such an air gap would impede the action of a cane, making strokes directed to that area quite ineffective. And of course a pleated skirt would provide even more of an obstacle to the cane.

So can you recall whether any of the cane stripes on your bottom were across the very lowest part, i.e. close to the crease where the buttocks meet the thighs? This is probably the most sensitive part of the bottom, where the cane would hurt the most. If all your stripes were higher up across the middle part of your bottom, that would suggest that my theory might be correct!

I’m not sure whether you have answered this before – if so, please forgive me – but did you cry when you got those canings or did you manage to take them quite stoically?

Keith

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.

To answer A_L’s and Keith’s points as best I can:
I was quite lively and mischievous as a child but I also has a tendency to get caught. Unfortunately I was somewhat of a slow learner – maybe teenage hormones – but it did eventually dawn on me that misbehaviour brings consequences and I managed to get through my last year at school with my bottom unaffected.
I have just indicated the times I was caned but the gym mistresses were a bit of a dab hand with the slipper and I also got a few stinging bottoms from them.
I have no idea how a skirt compares with trousers or any other skirt but I can tell you it really hurt each time. I was pretty shocked each time to remember how much it hurt. Shows how teenage amnesia can work!
As to the first time when I was wearing the dress, I rather think the head went easy on us that time as we were youngsters, because the second time I seem to remember it certainly hurting more. The head was certainly an expert with the cane and, although there was nothing brutal about it, she really knew how to make it hurt, which was (of course) the idea! As to where they landed the marks tend to be quite close together in the middle of your bottom where the skirt was tightest. Let me tell you by the time the last one landed it was agony. And yes, I cried my eyes out! But looking back I deserved it!

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.

The information I’d love you to provide is the following:

Hello Heather,

Thanks for your response to the questions about your various canings.

You said:

As to where they landed the marks tend to be quite close together in the middle of your bottom where the skirt was tightest.

I think that does indicate that my “air gap theory” might have been correct in your case. Although your canings hurt a lot, I think you might have found that they would have hurt even more if your headmistress had been able to deliver effective strokes to the lower part of your bottom close to the crease where your buttocks meet your thighs. Most people seem to agree that the crease area is the most sensitive part of the bottom, and cane strokes landing there are absolutely agonising! I suspect she couldn’t cane you there precisely because she could see that your skirt wasn’t as tight against that part of your bottom when you were bending over the desk.

When you told your mum that you’d been caned at school, did she want to check the marks to see how severe the canings had been?

Can you remember how long your marks took to fade after your six-stroke canings?

Keith

Hello Another_Lurker,

I wasn’t aware that those shorts that many of us wore in school before ‘graduating’ to long trousers had an extra lining, but your account reminded me of something I recall from my schooldays in the 60’s at my boys-only grammar school.

One boy in my year, with whom I was reasonably friendly, was in a fairly unusual position in that his father was a teacher at the school. Despite that, or perhaps because of it, he seemed to have quite a few encounters with the slipper (i.e. plimsoll). I don’t think there was ever a case where he was punished in this way unjustly, but some of the slipperings he got did seem to be somewhat harder than ones that other boys got. I suspect some of the teachers wanted to avoid any suspicion of favouritism so maybe went a bit too much the other way. Whether it was for that reason or just because he couldn’t ‘take’ the slipper as well as most boys, I remember him being on the verge of tears after one or two or those punishments.

Anyway, one day he told me that his mother had sown an extra lining into each of his pairs of underpants, to provide him with a bit more protection. Evidently she must have felt some sympathy for him, or perhaps she secretly disagreed with corporal punishment – I don’t know.

I don’t remember how many more times he got the slipper after that, but I hope the extra lining helped!

Incidentally, do you have any comment on my posting above in reply to Heather? Do you think my “air gap theory” has been given a boost by Heather’s experience of her canings?

Keith
