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.

Any other relevant info: Towards the end of each term, cane marks (black, blue, brown or red) were visible on the bottoms of around two thirds of the boys when we lined up naked for our turn to have a compulsory cold shower each morning before breakfast. It was easy to see which boys had received four strokes and which had received six. We were proud of our stripes and always showed them to each other as soon as possible after a beating. Canings occasionally drew blood and if so the weals were treated with antiseptic ointment by the house matron (female).

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your post about your various school canings at your boarding schools.

I was interested in the very last bit, concerning the house matron. Did you find it embarrassing if you had to visit her and bare your bottom for her to apply the ointment to your stripes?

Was she sympathetic when she had to do this, or did she just treat it in a matter-of-fact way as a necessary chore?

Did the matron ever administer corporal punishment herself? If so, did she use the cane or something different?

How long did your cane stripes typically remain visible before vanishing completely?

Thank you Keith. The Matron herself was a middle-aged lady who was very matter of fact about applying ointment to my stripes when the cane had drawn blood (which didn’t happen often) but the sensation of her cool hand stroking the ointment along the weals was certainly enjoyable. Sometimes though the treatment was done by the Assistant Matron who at my last school (when I was 16 or 17) was a much younger and very attractive young woman and having her rubbing ointment into one’s still hot and stinging backside was obviously very arousing and it was sometimes difficult to conceal the evidence of arousal! The Assistant Matron was always sympathetic, clucking at the evidence of the severe caning, and often asking what I had been punished for. She was not much older than me. I think maybe she rather enjoyed having to massage the bottoms of rapidly maturing teenage boys.

I only remember one time when the Matron (the older one) actually caned a boy herself (it wasn’t me). He had cheeked her, and she complained to the Housemaster who invited her to administer the punishment herself, with the Housemaster looking on. This was one of the very rare times when the offender was made to take down his school uniform shorts and Y-fronts to be caned on the bare bottom. Apparently the beating was very severe, as I could see when the boy concerned came back to our dorm and showed us his heavily bruised and striped rear end. She had given him six hard strokes. We all thought it was very unfair to be caned in anger. A cooling off period after the offence usually meant a more moderate punishment although having to wait for as long as two days, knowing you were going to have a beating at the end of it, was not very pleasant, perhaps actually almost as bad as the punishment itself.

My recollection is that the marks of a fairly severe caning would last for maybe three weeks or a bit more. It was common knowledge that the Monitors (older boys, called Prefects in other schools I believe) tended to administer more severe beatings than the housemaster although he could lay it on pretty harshly too as I knew all too well. The Monitors varied a lot from one boy to another. The marks from my earliest beating by my Prep School Headmaster (six strokes of the cane over thin pyjama trousers while bent over a piano stool, with my dressing-gown turned back over my shoulders) definitely lasted for at least three weeks – it was almost the end of term and when I got home for the holidays my mother happened to notice my heavily wealed bottom as I was getting out of the bath and was horrified. She asked my father to complain to the Headmaster but he said it was probably well deserved. I was 9. I expect my skin was still soft and easily marked – later repeated strokes of the cane must have toughened it up a bit and I didn’t mark quite so easily. But later the beatings were harder and the marks lasted just as long.

Hi Keith,

I was born, raised and went to school in western Texas.
I miss it.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your post, and I’m sure many of us will be looking forward to seeing details of your subsequent paddlings.

Can I ask you in which state you were at school?

Incidentally, just in case some of our UK contributors fail to realise this, can I point out that “pants” in the US means “trousers” to us Brits! One of many instances where, to quote Winston Churchill, we are “two countries divided by a common language”.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your response to my questions.

If you had to visit the Matron in those circumstances after you’d been caned, I bet you were hoping the “proper” Matron was away or busy elsewhere and the Assistant Matron would be the one to tend to your poor bottom! I can just imagine how you would have been feeling when she started rubbing the ointment into your throbbing weals!

Do you think she was aware of the effect she was having on you? I bet she was having a good laugh to herself when she realised you were getting an erection! Maybe she even prolonged the whole process unnecessarily to “torture” you a bit!

As she was sympathetic about your canings, I wonder whether she might have been secretly opposed to the way that corporal punishment was being administered at your school. Did she ever give you that impression?

I was at a boys-only grammar school (non-boarding) in the 60’s, where the headmaster was the only one allowed to use the cane. The slipper was the usual CP instrument in the school, and canings by the headmaster were quite rare. I remember seeing the vivid stripes on a boy’s backside in the changing rooms after he’d been caned earlier that day, and they were quite a sight (although I don’t think they had actually drawn blood). Anyway, sadly we didn’t have a nice young Matron to visit for a bit of sympathy (and perhaps more!).

Any other relevant info: Second school paddling with two classmates. Thought I’d give an account of what happened as closely as I remember it. So here it is.

Every so often there were outbreaks of pantsings/wedgie attacks at school. The school took a very dim view of this and their response to those caught in the act of such anti-social behavior was to paddle the rears of the culprits. So we all knew the risks involved and had to balance that with the thrill of getting away with it scot-free and un-paddled.

I’d recently been the victim of such an attack and wanted payback so after lunch one day when one of the perpetrators, a fellow classmate, was collecting something from his locker and the coast looked clear, my buddy Miguel tried to hold Logan still while I attempted to inflict a payback wedgie. Logan put up some resistance and some minor scuffling followed. Unfortunately the coast wasn’t as clear as we’d thought or we got unlucky and we heard “you boys stop that right now and come with me”.

The teacher marched us to the school office area. Unfortunately our Principal wasn’t in his office and we were told to wait there while she went off to find him. After a few minutes she returned with him and then left. Our Principal opened his office door and it was “right you three, get in here”. The teacher must have told him what she’d seen but we were asked to give an account of our behavior. All three of us knew it was pretty hopeless and we came clean, Logan even fessed up to the previous pantsing/wedgie attack without me or Miguel snitching on him which I thought was pretty brave.

We got the standard lecture about the importance of behaving in school etc. but I think all three of us knew where this was headed and at the end heard “your punishment is going to be a spanking”. Hearing him say “spanking” raised momenatry alarm bells since that was a word I associated with parental corporal punishment and for me then it meant given over mom or dad’s lap with their hand or mom’s spankin’ spoon but with pants and underwear down round my ankles. At school we usually called it a “paddling” or “getting paddled” or just getting pops or swats. However, he finished the lecture by asking us if we understood why we were going to be paddled.
After probably some quiet “yes sirs” etc. it was “ok boys, it’s three pops each, empty anything in your backpockets and place it on my desk”. While we did this he took out his paddle along with a folder containing discipline forms and came round from behind his desk, paddle in hand, stood next to a chair at one side and told Logan to come over and me and Miguel to go over and face the wall to one side. Then I heard “I want you to bend over and grab hold of the seat and keep in that position until I say you can stand up”. Shortly after that I heard the paddle land three times across Logan’s rear and from the sound of the pops and Logan’s reaction it sure sounded like our Principal was applying his paddle firmly. Then, “stand up and go over and face the wall, Michael come over here”. I did as I was told and remember glancing at Logan as we were exchanging places, it was obvious he was close to crying. Then it was the same, “alright Michael bend over and grab hold of the seat and keep still still I say you can stand up”. I did as told and probably braced myself then got my three pops which definitely made an impression, they stung real good and my behind was really smarting as I was told I could stand up and go back to facing the wall while Miguel took my place for his paddling. After he had dealt with Miguel we had to stand facing him while he filled in the discipline forms and then were sent on our way with a suggestion we visit the boys restroom and wash our faces which we did. For the rest of that afternoon in class I was squirming around quite a bit in my seat.

There am me at a schoolchild.
Time of the drawing and manual art of a 3rd grader of elementary school, laver has been used wastefully.
A female teacher called me to the window side in front in the classroom.
For a short while, I was scolded in front of the teacher.
Then while saying suddenly, that it shouldn’t be wasted.
My arm was pulled.
I resisted, but a teacher has begun to give my form a ride and spanking bottom about 10 times from the top of a skirt while sitting down on a chair.
There were also other young in the classroom, so I was very embarrassed.

Any other relevant info : I had been at this school for nearly a year,and had lost count at the number of times we had been warned about running in corridors/injury to ourselves,other pupils.No one seemed to take any notice of this rule and when a member of staff did spot someone running,they just bellowed down the corridor for the pupils to stop running and that was it.
This particular day unbeknown to me a girl had been running down the corridor earlier in the day ,had tripped and broke her wrist.The head held a staff meeting instructing the teachers to come down hard on any pupils caught running inside school.Of course being totally unaware of this clampdown my friend and i were messing around,pushing and shoving each other,and after punching me in the arm my friend set of sprinting down the corridor with me in pursuit.The corridor was quite busy as it was breaktime so we were dodging in and around groups of pupils.As we neared the end of the corridor we were stopped in our tracks by Mr Daives who started to give us a right rollicking regarding our misbehaviour. Course all the shouting had started to attract a bit of a crowd both girls and boys,and when Mr Davies announced that we were both going to be slippered,it brought even more pupils to watch.Mr Daives then asked the watching crowd if anyone had a plimsoll in their bag,the number of plimsolls that were offered was unbelievable,both boys and girls were holding out their implement of pain for the P.E master. As i recall Mr Daives took his time before choosing which one to use finally deciding on a worn black one offered by an older girl.
We were both then ordered to bend over and touch our toes and our blazers were folded over,i remember Mr Daives telling the spectators to move back as he needed more space for his swing,this brought laughter from the watching pupils.I was to be first two taps then WHACK!WHACK!WHACK!each whack was joined by lots of OOH,S from the watching crowd as well as laughter,i tell you i certainly was,nt laughing i was howling after the third whack i stood up only for Mr Daives to order me back into position,we were,nt finished yet,my friend received his three with the same sound effects as me and ordered to stay in position. Mr Daives then came back to me,i could hear the watching crowd saying their getting six,as it was being passed back to the pupils at the rear,three more stingers landed on my bottom the noise of the slipper echoing down the corridor accompanied by my howls the same was then given to my friend after which we were both allowed to stand up.Mr Daives reminded the onlookers what they had just witnessed would be the punishment for running in corridors from now on,he gave the girl her plimsoll back thanking her for her assistance which brought more laughter from the spectators.My friend and i left the scene as quickly as possible of course we did,nt run.Later on pupils in my class were all talking about the whacking in the corridor,that they had missed but they did,nt know who the boys involved were

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:

Were you ever punished again for the same offence?: Yes
Do you consider the punishment effective?: Not really. It may be effective for other offenses, but the misbehavior was a reflection of bigger problems, and it didn’t really solve the problem. I eventually was sent to counseling.
