Given the cane or strap At last we come to a definite punishment – but how severe? A stroke of the cane or an hour’s detention? I’d have the cane. Six of the best or an hour’s detention? I’d probably do the detention (unless it meant missing a concert by my favourite rock band. 
).
Sent to the Head for misbehaviour Again, it that’s all it entails, so what? I had a lo of respect for my headmistress so, I suppose knowing I’d annoyed her could be a punishment but, if I didn’t have that respect, it wouldn’t be a punishment at all.
Made to look foolish in class jokingly Not particularly nice but not a severe “punishment”. If I’d done something stupid, I’d go along with the ridicule.
Made to look foolish in class sarcastically Much as above but I’d see a teacher being spiteful, not my being punished.
