Was anyone caned / strapped on both the bottom and hands at school? If so, which was worse? I was caned on both the hand and the bottom at school although I have never felt the strap. Unquestionably the strokes across the bottom were the most painful. In fact, without exaggeration I would go so […]

Miss Caulsan Scene 3
I trembled and shook. “Oh, please, Miss,” I murmured, but my voice was so soft I could scarcely hear it myself. Tears had gathered in my eyes and a blinked them back furiously. I couldn’t let Miss Caulsan see me cry. I was twelve years old now. A big boy. “Buck up, Roger,” I said […]
Discipline in Helston Grammar 1964
Some while ago I posted the complete and unexpurgated press report from the Cornishman newspaper of the very real and very severe clothes brush spanking of two sixth formers.

Matron’s slipper
During the 1960s, I attended a prep school in North Yorkshire. From this prep school, I have very fond memories of our loving but strict matron. Many smacked bottoms were received from her to keep us all in line. Our matron was fairly young, in her early 30s, but she was very experienced in discipline. […]
