A lot of teachers used to practice before giving our first caning. This was done on an old pair of school trousers/shorts padded with a cushion or pillow. A chalk line used to be drawn on these trousers and light strokes were aiming at this line. Later it was done much harder with the cane being chalked so as to leave a chalk mark where it landed. When you could get it to land every time it was “safe” then to use it on a boy.
Many cringe and complain it did not happen, but most teachers, certainly on their first caning
did it on the bare bottom, or made a point of trying to see the boy’s bottom in the shower that day or the next. The reason was to see if the strokes had landed in the correct place and if they had been hard enough or too hard.
