Many a time in infants school I myself and a friend would be seen standing on school chairs pretending we were swordsman from the flashing blade, having lots of fun then would hear a loud bellowing shout 'YOU BOYS!!!! COME HERE NOW!!!!. Grabbed by the ears and led off to the headmasters office where the punishment was getting whacked across the palms of your hand by the cane and then had to stand in the main hall, face against the wall where the rest of the school could see who had been naughty.
Good times hehe
Yes, we've all been caned. At least those of us of our age have; they don't seem to do it now.
I was once caned for something I didn't do.
A group of us lads in the corner of the playground, one lad looking over the wall separating us from the next-door girls' school, and we had been warned by the headmaster in that morning's assembly not to do it. What should happen but a teacher came round the corner, saw the lad letching, and took us all to the headmaster for a caning, guilty and innocent together.
I don't feel bad about it, though I did at the time. Everyone makes mistakes and it did me no harm.
Not today, of course. The headmaster and the teacher would be up in court and probably given a criminal record.
