I think that being sent to the Headmaster made everyone aware that you were in serious trouble and that you were going to be severely punished. I cannot comment on its success as a deterrent as I was caned by my secondary school Headmaster four times and there seemed to be a lot of boys making the trip to his study. I was unfortunate enough to have received the maximum number of strokes the first time I visited him and on each subsequent visit.
