I don't know if you like me or not so I will answer and presume you do.In Russia they still have canning for children as young as three.I think it stopped in England about 20 years ago.I have been canned but I was innocent.
There was still the cane at my school when I left 22 years ago. I didn't have it, but was threatened with it a few times..I knew quite a few kids who had it though!
I have never been caned but my brother was, he was born in 1957 and used to get the cane once a month minimum at Wigan Road School Ormskirk in the late 1960's early 1970's, he left in 73 I think. at 15.
Im 27 and never got caned at school. The public schools around here dont have it. My dad went to public school in the 70s and he reckons he got caned a lot. Saying that I was too good to get a caning anyway, not evena detention to my name.
Wardminter, Im not sure if I would enjoy but Ill put a cottage pie in the oven if you fancy nipping over next time you are in the area to give it a try : S
You will find it hard to believe but I was a sod at school, I had the cane at least once a week in secondary school, always 6 strokes 3 on each hand if it was really bad 6 on each hand, they also used to throw the blackboard cleaner at us,and I even had a metal ruler across the knuckles I am in my 50s left school 1963
Scarisbrick Hall School in Ormskirk were caning when I left in 1980. It was seen as an easy option....I was never caned or slippered, as were the girls!
My son goes to a private school in Southport and they don't cane there!
I left school in 1964, and did get the cane on occasion, our school caned on the hands and buttocks, a couple of teachers used the slipper, and we had one teacher, (female), who carried her cane all the time, it must have been 1/2inch accross, a nasty bit of work, she enjoyed using it.
