When I was at primary school I received the cane and the slipper on numerous occasions. I got the cane on the hands in front of my classmates in primary school and also got caned on the hands by the deputy headmistress in private. I got them from both male and female teachers. I also got the slipper on the bottom from both male and female teachers in front of my classmates. I found the cane far more painful than the slipper and would happily accept a class slippering over the cane any time. I had to think hard on which type of caning hurt most though.
