If.... (1968) Caning Scene

[@DownunderDaz]

We had a Headmaster at my Australian Primary School who took great delight in caning young Boys, especially 8-11 year olds until they screamed. I got it a few times, once for being Left Handed. One of my friends got 6 strokes of the cane on each hand in front of the whole class because he made a sound when the Headmaster visited to speak to our teacher. Girls who witnessed what happened were sobbing after the incident. Eventually, that Principal ended up at another School, this time a High School, where he was run over and killed by a male student who was sick of the abuse he received. Eventually, the Student got off with it very lightly when the abuse was revealed. Government sanctioned abuse of kids by Sadists must never be tolerated.

In Canadian public schools we weren't canned, we were giving the strap. A leather like belt about a foot long on the hands. I was given the strap in grade 4 ( 9 years old )for lying. Saying that I forgot my homework a home, when if fact I hadn't done it. Three on each hand in front of the class. First was to punish through pain and humiliation, second was a warning to the class to conform. Did it change my behaviour , not really. What it did was enhance my already growing fear and hatred of teachers and school.

[@davidhuff4562]

So were you then spanked/caned at school for failure to know your class lesson or failing grades?

[@robinfryer479]

Years later, I worked out that I am Asperger’s-Autistic. I was at prep school, from 8~13, and the weapon used against me was the gym-shoe. Regularly. My pubic school was of a military flavour. There, the cane was the approved instrument, wielded by bigger boys, the house master, and for serious offences, like smoking or talking to girls, the PT instructor, and the Fencing instructor would deliver 12 cuts, before the prisoner was expelled. The schools aren’t like that now, and have girls as well. I escaped. Hid at the beginning of term, for a couple of terms, which earned me a trip to a shrink, so, my last term, aged 16, I escaped in the middle of the night and made a home run, and effectively got myself expelled. I had occasional nightmares for about 5 years afterwards.

[@robinfryer479]

David, if you are not English, Prep and Public schools are not free. Pupils* pay to attend. Unless they win scholarships. *I.E. their parents. Public school means that anyone capable of passing the entrance exam, and paying the fees, may be accepted. The definition of a public school was one in which the Headmaster/Mistress belonged to ‘The Headmaster’s Conference’

[@davidhuff4562]

@@robinfryer479 : I suspect they didn't see your behavior as autistic, but rather as a bad behaved boy needing discipline. We had boys when I attended school that were likely autistic too, but school called it "BD" (behavior disorder) & the common punishment was a butt paddling. I would think the gym shoe would have a sting, but not as bad as the cane. Was school punishment always over trousers or some more serious offenses get pants down?

[@robinfryer479]

Sorry. Gym-shoe, aka plimsoll. Sting? The pain was still pain. In the case of RW, the wheals across his buttocks, spread from the base of his spine to the tops of his thighs, were visible for the last 3 terms that I attended that particular school. As I mentioned elsewhere, boys could receive 12 cuts. I left in 1964, aged 16, with one GCE ‘O’ level. After 3 years. I received the remainder of my 6 in less than a year, in a much kinder boarding, tutorial establishment.

[@santodomingo1605]

In my day there was no caning by prefects and six on the bags in a study was the limit. If you were forewarned of a caning (for example when you knew you would be summoned to the Head’s study after morning prayers) then several pairs of underpants and a cricket fixture list helped, apparently. Unfortunately the one caning I received (richly deserved) was immediate. Kindly old gentleman as the Head was in happier times he could certainly whop. After four strokes I wriggled through the rest of the day. But my school - all male boys and staff - was a very relaxed environment. With the exception of the Latin teacher, masters were free and easy knowing that boys crossing the boundary could be brought to heel instantly with the threat of a whopping.

[@davidhuff4562]

That cane after 4-6 strokes must've been painful. You say deserved & immediate...how old were you? Our school didn't cane, but boys got swats with a wooden paddle in the bent over position with back pockets required to be empty. I was only school paddled once and at age 14. It came unexpected and so no option to wear extra undershorts or pad my butt in any way. Not sure I would've even risk padding seat of my trousers if I had known I had swats coming...embarrassing & maybe more swats if caught.

I went to a boys grammar school in the seventies, and caning was fairly routine, not to mention smacks around the head and so on. And you know what? It was sort of a game. Almost like a "Jackass" type thing we were all involved in. The lads that got caned used to make it a "red badge of courage" thing. It was a way of showing you were hard.

I wonder what was worse. The Cane or the Belt. I was born in England. But from primary two . My school years were spent in Scotland. At High School. Or Secondary. We got the belt. A leather log strap. With a split at the end. Like a forked young. Standard practice back in the 70s. Could be sore , when the teachers (unintentionally) hit your wrists. Instead of the hands. But I never showed any pain. I wouldn't give the Bastard's. The satisfaction.

[@davidhuff4562]

My thinking on "worse" would depend on whether smacked on hands or your behind. I think hands more delicate and hands bare flesh. A boy's butt has more muscle tissue to absorb a smack and at school it was over trousers & underpants. Both are sore results, but I would've preferred a sore bottom to sit on than a sore, maybe swollen hand. Was it always on your hands or did you get the belt/strap also at school or from a parent on your bottom as punishment?

[@glitterykitten8935]

I got beaten at school in England between 1971 and 1977. My last caning was at 16 years old ...4 of the cane at Ratcliffe College a Catholic public school in the East Midlands, the reason was for writing an insult to the head prefect in a sheet of 80 lines on history. It’s hard to explain this to people who never experienced it in reality. You can not run away or go and ask your parents for help. You are a boarder in a private school run by priests and lay masters who apply an education worthy of 19thC Victorian Britain. At 16 it burnt but it was very humiliating. The idea is to humiliate you, to create a reality between those who rule and those who are ruled over. Maggie Thatcher banned corporal punishment in the early 1980’s.

James Oldman - Your assumptions are way off. Scandanavian countries don't beat their kids, and have far less crime. There is however, a huge correlation between TV / Movie violence and casual killings, and two working parents with no one home to talk to the kids, and a lowering of teacher to child ratio at school, and the income poverty gap in the US that is growing, and the refusal to outlaw guns. Kids need care. If you deny them care, they are angry and resentful. Guns in the house or easily available make it easy to vent their anger with violence. Its a simple formula. Remove the guns and prevent the anger.

Disgusting behaviour by teachers. Many I suspect were taking out their sexual frustration by belting these boys endlessly for often very poor and suspicious reasons. I attended a Catholic school and sadly I believe the leather strap was used to belt boys and with obvious pleasure by the brothers. I remember clearly on one occasion when a fellow student 185cm tall said to the Religious Brother “you’d better not try it on me otherwise don’t ever walk around in the dark”. He never got belted and another word was ever said.

[@geoffpoole483]

These are prefects in this scene; otherwise you're totally correct.

[@anonUK]

Although they certainly practiced corporal punishment- and quite a few were abominable perverts- Jesuits usually wanted to mould the boys' minds. Christian Brothers always had more down-to-earth interests. If you were a Catholic teacher and a truly sadistic pervert, the Christian Brothers schools were where you wanted to be. The chatacter of Father Jack Hackett didn't even scratch the surface.

That's far too strong a reaction. An older relative of mine once told me that back when she was 15, she and another girl were caught smoking in the girls' bathroom at school. They were both given 8 strokes of the cane on the seat of their knickers by an athletic young deputy headmistress who didn't hold back. Both were in tears by the end and neither dared to smoke again at school. My relative said it was the worst pain she'd ever experienced and actually never touched a cigarette again. So corporal punishment can be both beneficial and act as a deterrent when used sensibly.
