Although undoubtedly rare in UK schools, even in the sixties, I did witness boys being caned in assembly at senior school on more than one occasion, I cannot remember any of them visibly crying, before or afterwards. What I do remember clearly is the absolute and total shocked silence during the proceedings in which one could hear the sharp intakes of breath from both the recipient, and on occasion the assembled school audience as well. (The actual strokes themselves seemed to sound particularly loud). The tension and fear produced in both myself and my female schoolfriends were enough on occasion to cause some to burst into tears as the caning proceeded.
