The Cane

For:

  • Although I wouldn’t have known it at the time, if I’d been caned I might be able to hold my own in discussions

Against:

  • Very undignified. In the case of both Prefects and Headmaster touching toes, or as near as could be enforced, was required. In the case of the Prefects there was also an audience of any other Prefects who happened to be in their common room at the appointed time.
