While at high school from 1957-1959, I was caned several times. Mostly it was semi-private as it was a co-ed school. If it was an all-boys class you were called out to the front of the class and ordered to bend over touching toes, and usually 2 – 4 strokes of the cane were administered to your backside. If it was a mixed class then you were sent either into the corridor or to the teacher’s staff room where a similar sentence was carried out. Most of my canings happened semi-privately, ie in the corridor where although they couldn’t see it happen, the girls could hear it and then when you were returned to the classroom in front of the teacher who was still carrying the cane, you were scrutinized for signs of tears. In my case, I usually had a very red face mostly from embarrassment.
