School Caning
Another Dose a Few Days Later?
Did anyone experience this? When you got beaten with a cane then had to endure the same punishment a few days later along the same lines…. I have heard this is excruciating as the skin hasn’t healed anywhere near properly. Surely possibly more painful than just the original initial beating. Also, was anyone told if they stood up or moved or even made a howl during punishment they would have to endure the same amount of strokes again? Or was this rare? ——————————– I was caned ( 3 strokes) and had to endure a slippering after school on the same day. And yes it really did hurt. —————————————— The first caning was from the headmaster and as far as I can remember it was for horseplay in class. I was using a pair of compasses to try and stab my friends hands. The idea was that he spread his hand...
Public/ Private School Beatings in U.K
I am very interested to know if anyone was ‘beaten’ during the 1950s-60s at a UK public or private school? I generally know they were a lot worse at these schools and the further back you go the beatings were worse at these institutions. My real life story is that I had 12 strokes of the cane from an ex public school pupil who was at one during the 1950s. This was quite a few years ago now I received it. He was Head of House. It was quite a punishment I can tell you! Like it was said, you couldn’t sit down properly for a while afterwards. Bear in mind I’m not bluffing the severity of the strokes, these were proper hard. Nor the amount. I was in shock after I received it….. Although that is only one emotion I must add. It made me think if I was around at the time of the 1950s I would ...
Are Females Sadistic
The recent post from ‘well disciplined’ prompted me to dwell on my experiance of being sent to the head by a female teacher.Although his post bears no relationship to my visits for punishment, the fact that a young lady had ‘sentenced me to be caned’ by sending me to the heads office and having to inform him that I had displeased her in some way was certain to result in bending for the cane. Upon return to the class the way that I was questioned by her to establish that indeed my bottom had been caned, confirmed my thoughts that maybe she gained some sort of pleasure in in my distress.I noted over my years at secondary school that it was the female teachers who did most of the sending to the head!!Like ‘well disciplined’ at the the time I hated her, but now years later I wish she could tak...
CP and the end of the Age of Innocence
There is a popular caveat repeated often on reality television here that says don’t try this at home. It certainly applies here to the half-dozen posting in a mainstream publication. Some of this information may seem irrevelant and others who have no interest in the American Way may find it yawnable but I hope some will eill enjoy and/or learn something about our history. Hollywood probably assures that many of this will not be unfamiliar to our estimable Forum. Google has become a souce of a mine lode of links especially when it comes to small city papers in the days of yore as I recently mentioned. Is this happening in regional papers in the UK. In 1939 an article that would appear in the below links wouldn’t raise an eyebrow. The end of the innocence began here with kinky mo...
Then and Now
After visiting with some friends/relatives back in my day, I was able to get some of them to talk about school punishments now versus ones back in our time here in the South. These discussions as well as some of the things I have read online including this site has been enlightening. One of the things I have noticed about here in the south is how much and how little some things have changed in regard to home and school corporal punishments. Both varieties are definitely down in frequency from my days of youth, but I found some things very interesting. First was who can deliver swats vs who cannot. Back in my day both male and female administrators could deliver swats to either gender and no witness required. Then the witness thing began in the 1960’s and it seemed girls, es...
Too Old For Spanking?
I was not spanked beyond age 10. However, when I was 11 and 12 I remember being given the occasional threat of a spanking. So, the possibility was still there, but I never needed to actually get it after 10 years old. Once I became a teenager, I can hardly remember being disciplined at all, much less spanked. I might get a verbal lecture from time to time, but that was it. When I was a little kid, I think spanking worked for me. During those years, I did tend to learn lessons best through the seat of my pants. I think that getting spanked past the age of 12 would have seemed awkward to me and very insulting. My school had corporal punishment in the form of paddling up through 8th grade, which would be age 14. So, I could have been a potential...
Male students – Canings from a Female Teacher
When I was 15 years old, I had a boyfriend who was one year older than me. They had a pretty young female teacher Latin, she was at her late twenties. One day he received a six of the best caning of her that he never forgot. He said that this was the most painful and humiliating caning he received in his entire school career. The fact that he was whipped by a young female was particularly embarrassing. And obviously, she did her job really well. Have you had similar experiences?Was it different to get caned by a female teacher?Did males or females cane harder? —————————– All my canings were from male teachers. I did get the slipper from a female teacher at juniors and there wasn’t any real difference between how hard she hit and how hard the male teachers did. —————————— I never got a cani...
The Painful Truth
Not so long ago, I lost my parents, and I had the unenviable task of clearing their lifetime’s possessions. In a box, I discovered some old school reports of mine. Among the papers and a dreadful school photo was a letter, written by my old junior school headmistress. I had no idea my parents kept this stuff. Reading the letter made me cry. I will paraphrase the contents towards the end of this story. I read the stories on Maman with great interest – the following will explain why, and I cannot deny there my underlying interest in the subject matter. My story begins with the actions of four vandals who broke into our school garden. I was ten years old, in the last year of junior school. My father had drummed this message into me as a child: “If you mess up, own up.” He taught me that those...
Discipline at Home & School
I read with interest a lot of the comments and remarks on the subject of corporal punishment Like a lot of people, I too can offer some personal experiences. This is particularly true on the subject of slippering. I attended a mixed school in the nineteen sixties in the UK. Back then most schools still used corporal punishment on a regular basis. It is safe to say that corporal punishment was a normal part of everyday life. It was never excessive, virtually always justified and for most of the part accepted/ At my own school corporal punishment was always administered on the bottom and never on the hand, possibly for safety reasons. Punishment for the boys was frequently of the corporal variety. The slipper, which in my experience was not a carpet slipper or a soft canvas shoe, but most co...
Old School Thoughts on Discipline
Due to my abiding interest in corporal punishment, I do find myself visiting a number of websites related to the subject. There are those who have a keen interest in CP and experienced it without regrets as a child. In my experience, these people tend to be older and were at school in the days when CP was still legal. Then there are those who were badly abused in the past, and who mostly have a natural aversion to CP. However, even some of this group may still considerably less harsh use of spanking as a reasonable discipline. On the other hand, there are those who consider a mere single slap to the clothed bottom to be ‘abuse’ – the latter tend to be from a younger generation. So we found that those supporting CP in the home are often abused online by others who suggest that they’re in fa...
My Encounters at Boarding School in the 1960s Part3
At the weekend Julie and I received permission to go into the local town and to stay there for the evening performance of Macbeth at the local theatre group, as this was part of our A-level English Lit exams. The rest of the girls had been able to go to the matinee performance on a Wednesday but we had been busy at a Hockey Competition. It was arranged that we could go in on the bus to collect our tickets and then have a meal at the local restaurant. As we were going to be out in the evening we had been allowed not to wear uniforms and we would be collected outside the theatre by a member of staff at the conclusion of the play. We had a lovely meal and a glass of wine as we were both eighteen now and really enjoyed the play. As we came out of the theatre Miss Maloney was waiting outside an...
