I’ll list the two types of schools attended as a result, what would be rated severe in one school may not be rated the same in the other.

I only attended co-ed day schools so I have no experience of boarding schools.

I would rank the punishments used in my school thus –

1. Lines or Essay

2. On Report

3. Detention (60 mins)

4. Cane (from Head.)

5. Slipper

6. Kept in at lunchtime/break

7. “Telling Off”. (move this to between 3 & 4 if it’s a teacher I really respected.)
