Nostalgia

Without disrespecting your comments BZN, I don’t think getting the cane has made anyone go off the rails.
Most people understood it, respected it and felt if you do the crime you take the punishment.
6 of the best was standard fare at my school but I don’t even think about it now, nor do I even think about getting some decent hidings from my old man.
Imo all part of a boy growing up, in my era.
I've certainly got no complaints with FAIR punishment, but what I witnessed being handed out to other kids was grossly unfair. And if the same thing happened today, I reckon the teacher would be in Serious trouble for a violent assault.

Yeah I got the cane a lot... But the one that stands out clearly was in 5th class when I got it unfairly just being in the wrong place and the wrong time.
I'd never cry getting the stick but this time I did not for pain just a hole teacher didn't listen to me and others who were vouching for me that I was innocents... Got a bad case of the F- it's that day... Didn't care nothing was gonna be worse than it already was.
Saw some fairly violent stuff in high school from a select fee teachers and one pulled my hair pretty hard... She'd be sacked for it these days
