One of my form teachers in junior school was a Mrs Green. She was ancient even then so I am certain she will no longer be in the land of the living. If she was displeased with a boy whether it was work or behavior, she would say: “Go to the headmaster and ask him to cane you”.
This happened to me on several occasions and although, on each occasion, I then left the classroom and walked towards the headmaster’s study, I never plucked up the courage to enter and ask to be caned! I would wait what I thought was an appropriate length of time before returning to the classroom and retaking my place. She never once questioned me (or other boys who she had sent to be caned), about the punishment, or even asked if I had been through with it.
