Just wondering allowed here, anyone else on this forum experience corporal punishment at school.
In my elementary / primary school we got wacked with an 18 inch wooden ruler with metal straight edge while we held our hands palms up in front of us.
If we drew the hands away the teacher held them by the tips of our fingers next time.
In high school we had a canning on the behind. Bent over blaser lifted and whack executed through a swing of the cane from above the head of the Vice Principle. Typically 2 but could go to 6.
Justification for the above could vary and cover a broad range of "transgressions". Cheek to a teacher, no homework done, cultivating rebellion (long story), smoking, damage or defacing school property, peashooting paper spit balls, late for school, not attending assembly, talking in assembly..... the list was endless.
Still not sure what it achieved other than galvanising the victims against authority.
Most would prefer caning to detention.
Even girls in my highschool got caned. It was still going when i finished school in 75.
How about you?
