The painfulness of a traditional school caning depends on several factors. For example, no two headmasters cane equally as hard even if each is giving the caning as hard[which no doubt whatsoever he will be doing]as he possibly can. The cane itself of course plays a major role here. If it is a junior cane it will still be enough to make you wince and a heartfelt six will stagger you and bring tears to you eyes.If on the other hand, the cane is a heavy-duty senior rattan boy o boy are you in for some serious pain the kind that will make your legs give way beneath you, your head swimming with the accumulating agony as each stroke drives through your whole body and leave you to stagger out of the study and make your way painfully back to your classroom with a noticeable limp?
