Product Information

A humorous take on how to bend over for the cane, from Terry Deary, "Cruel Crime And Painful Punishment", illustrated by Mike Phillips, in the "Horrible Histories" series, Scholastic Children's Books, London, 2002. We were in the lounge one lazy Saturday afternoon. Elizabeth had made crumpets and was serving them hot with butter and honey with our tea. I watched her fulsome figure with mild interest; while at nearly thirty no longer young, the English teacher was not a child either, and possessed a healthy bosom, though unfortunately her face was too stern to be considered a true beauty. I thought with a pang of Maria, the lovely Spanish girl I frequented on occasion in town, but sadly she'd returned to her native land a month ago. I think we can probably view this case as the absolutely final and definitive nail in the coffin of school CP in Britain.

So? That just proves my point even more: if seventeen-year-olds are so jaded, it's all the more true for older girls." The woman face reddened again. "Well, it's true we're a little more... round... down there," she conceded, "but--" The latter speech almost made Nancy swoon with terror and she rushed from the room as though she feared he might elect to beat her some more right then and there instead of waiting for the next day. At many schools these formal canings would be administered privately, often in the head's or deputy head's office or in the staffroom. "Public" ceremonies of formal caning in front of the whole school were rare in modern times, though not completely unknown. One education committee, Romford (then in Essex but now part of Greater London), unusually banned public CP in 1961 after six girls were caned in front of 600 schoolmates.We walked slowly to the office door and stood outside. There was still some time to go until the assembly was dismissed. Suddenly Lindsey said something to me. I realised that my hands had been subconsciously rubbing the seat of my short trousers. I jerked them away and looked up at Lindsey. This important document is the full Law Lords ruling in the case brought by a group of Christian schools against the 1998 legislative ban on corporal punishment in all schools, even private ones. The schools claimed that their "freedom of belief", as protected by human rights legislation, was infringed because it was their Christian belief that naughty children should be spanked. As reported in these February 2005 news items, the highest court in the land dismissed their claims, upholding government and parliament in the 1998 blanket prohibition of all and any school CP. YOUR EDITOR'S PERSONAL VIEW ...

Now, I want you to bend right down over the desk, holding onto the other side. And you stay there until I give you permission!" Short article in History Today (2012) asserts that it was only in the 1890s that ordinary class teachers gained the right to use CP; before that, only head teachers were legally entitled to do so, under the common-law doctrine of in loco parentis. No source is cited for this claim. The author finds that, "far from being a relic of a cruel Victorian past, corporal punishment became more frequent and institutionalised in 20th-century England", but seems to overlook the obvious fact that the main reason it became more prevalent was that the number of secondary-school students soared, as the age up to which education was compulsory was steadily increased by law over the decades.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Pamela came twice before Colin finally shot his load deep inside his wife. But the night was still I started teaching primary in 1971 at the age of 21, so if your maths is up to scratch, you will know that I am now 69! After five initial years in the classroom, I took some time out to have my own two children. I returned to teaching in the mid 80s and took early retirement in 2001 due to health issues. Well you'd better not. Maybe I can spare you," Pamela said coyly. She lowered her hand to Colin's stripped bottom and However, all instances of "corridoring" were recorded and if you were sent out three times in the course of a week, you could be sent for the cane.

There was a long silence after the girl had departed. Elizabeth refused to look at anyone, but studied the floor intently. Thomas was snarling. Lucas was smiling. "Well? Shall we get started?"

This article gives a first-person account of slippering practice at a traditional boys' grammar school (ages 11 to 18 inclusive) in the 1960s, at which the cane was administered in the office for serious offences, but the slipper, applied in the classroom by individual teachers, was much more prevalent. This kind of arrangement seems to have been typical of many secondary schools. The article is illustrated with pictures of a gym shoe said to have been used for the purpose at a different school in the 1970s. To show how contrite and remorseful you are, you are going to accept this punishment bravely and with total stoicism. That means you will not vocalize your distress, or speak in any manner, until the correction is complete. You also will remain in proper position -- that means hands on the lower rung, feet firmly on the floor, and bottom offered up for the cane -- until you are given permission to rise. If you violate any of these rules in the slightest manner, you will be beaten again tomorrow and again on Monday! That's two beatings in addition to today's thrashing. Am I making myself clear?" She got eight strokes, Marling. I don't think that young lady will be sitting down comfortably for a long time. But she was only due to get six strokes. There are actually three different opinions here, by three judges who appear somewhat to disagree with each other, arriving at the same conclusion by different routes.
