Bully for Caning 2
I was bullied by a couple of boys in middle school, but it became serious and unbearable in high school. None of these boys were related to each other or “hung out” together. That boy, which lead to my near-strapping, had never bothered me before, and had never bothered me since. I think he simply […]
Bully for Caning
I was caned for violent bullying I can remember some of the things said like it happened yesterday and not over thirty five years ago, others are blurry and I can not remember exactly how something was said just that is was, for instance I know I was told I had to accept I had […]
Boarding School Vs Day School Discipline
I wonder if there was also a view on the part of the person inflicting the punishment that by moving, standing up or whatever, the severity of the punishment had somehow been reduced, and the extra stokes were to compensate for this. I’ll have to pass on that one in favour of those who’ve been […]
Slippered, Tawsed, Caned & Spoilt for Choice
My how you English boys and girls were spoiled for choice, obviously your teachers were far too soft with you! Would you prefer the slipper or the cane, young man? Hands or bottom? Now or later? Hard or soft? Please tell me if it’s too sore and I’ll do it more gently, or I’ll stop […]
Six of the Best & Those who Received it
The maximum number of strokes of the cane a school pupil could receive was six strokes. In my school day it was known as ‘six of the best’. I was wondering how many of you actually received the full six and how it was given (all on the bottom, all six on one hand, three […]
Paddle Discipline The Science Part 2
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not an expert in human physiology. Probably someone from a university sports science department would be able to give a much more detailed explanation of the physiological processes involved during corporal punishment. But I am a mathematician, and I know something about the mechanics of moving bodies, so I’ll describe […]

The School Slippering Experience
My thoughts on the issue of girls receiving corporal punishment in state schools, prior to abolition, always leaned towards an opinion that it hardly ever happened, if indeed, at all. I’m sure you can all appreciate my feelings when I tell yout that at every school I attended, from junior to secondary, girls were never […]
Notes on Corporal Punishment & Curious Punishments of Bygone Days
Dunce caps were a part of school disciplinary policies up until 50 years ago in the USA. It’s left a lasting impression. The school spanking sounds like a fetishists but one never knows? The wide range of opinions from a century ago is something that shows a lack of consensus to the role gender and […]
Are cold showers and route marches the answer for our badly behaved boys?
This week the Chief Inspector of Prisons said that Thorn Cross Young Offenders Centre, the nearest we have to a boot camp, has proved a success. So is hard physical exercise the answer? Yes, says Lynette Burrows; the ‘caring’ approach has damaged our children. Not true, says Paul Cavadino; education and work are the only […]
Corporal Punishment Over Used
Astonishingly, in this country anyone can advertise for pupils and establish a school, with only a cursory check from officialdom. They don’t even have to be trained as a teacher. The only people who are barred from teaching are those with a criminal record. They are named on a notorious list 99 at the Education […]
