In the public verses private debate, my experience was being called out by the headmaster during assembly for whispering while he was addressing the school. It was well known that if you misbehaved in assembly the headmaster would cane you. When You were called out you had to stand facing the wall of the school hall with your hands on your head. At the conclusion of assembly, the headmaster ordered you to his office and you waited until he was ready to see you and then you received your punishment. I don’t think there was much of a deterrent value in that situation as there was someone who had to see the headmaster after assembly most weeks; then again maybe it did as I was only punished for unassembly-like conduct once.
