when I was at boarding school we had a teacher who if you forgot something for class, even as small as a rubber (eraser to my US cousins) he would get you to find the largest gym shoe (we had open footware lockers) and then beat you 6 of the best, he'd even right POW backwards in chalk so you had POW on your arse. I personally think he just enjoyed beating little boys and found any excuse. I was 10 at the time. Got hit a few times though. Strangely though when I stabbed one kid with a pencil cuase he was being an arsehole to me nothing happend...!?! go figure.
I knew a few lads who were caned. One for telling the cleaning lady to F-off and the otehrs for running away.
The funniest was a teacher who bought one size 12 shoe just for beating, did me once but he barely tickled my hand. I don't hink he had the guts to do it but just wanted to look tough.
