After the punishment was administered you were given permission to stand up, the cane was placed back in the cupboard, the headmaster resumed his seat and recorded your details in the punishment book. Then you were promptly dismissed and you emerged from the study in a great deal of pain. There was nothing untoward about the process, it was very formal and maybe that is why it had such an impact on me when I was a schoolboy. Because you were whacked in public for every conceivable offence, the impact of a public whacking did not seem as great to me. For me a private caning was an experience I will never forget.
