My own attitude to school cp is one of total opposition, but I also think there’s no need to make it out to be worse than it was. Because what it was was bad enough. At my school in Africa, like Dean’s in Aus, you weren’t caned on a whim. The kind of arbitrary justice that I sometimes hear about on this forum never happened at my school. There was at least consistency. You knew what was a caneable offence and what wasn’t. It’s just that caneable offences began at a fairly trivial level – talking in class after being warned (usually twice, sometimes just once), answering back, handing in homework late several times in succession, that sort of thing. Even many who approve of cp would have thought the retribution disproportionate.
