All the class had to line outside her office and i remember a very nice boy who had been caned before telling me to rub my hands very hard as it would hurt more if my hands were cold. I was told it was best to be in the back of the queue because she would be less angry by then. I remember when it was my turn i was shaking so much i couldn’t keep my hand still. Everyone got one on each hand except for the monitors who got double rations. The girls were nearly all really upset and i remember feeling proud of myself for not crying.
