At my school, hand canings tended to be those that came suddenly and unexpectedly when we stepped out of line in the classroom, so we were unprepared. The teacher delivering it tended to be in a bad temper. Punishments on the bottom were usually carried out in the head’s / deputy’s study and were planned events, delivered in a calculated way and for which we had time to prepare mentally. I think that may have had some influence on what we felt.
