Are there any retired masters, deputy head or headmasters or old boys on this forum who remember from first-hand experience the days of tradition UK public boarding school style discipline? I would certainly welcome a discussion of those experiences.
Prof. V.
I had the pleasure of being educated at a British public school, where c.p. was meted out by prefects (17 and 18 yr olds), house masters and of course the head.
Prefects were allowed to administer up to 6 strokes with a light ratan thru
trousers or pe shorts
house masters up to 12 strokes, thru trousers or ba, and this with a heavy cane
The head could use a cane or a birch, trousers or bare, depending on the offence.
I was beaten by everybody for everything at all grades.
In the end I had my own back, when I became a prefect and was able to cane some fags( first year lads)
These days I live in the Spanish Canary Islands, and am available to accept or give beatings.
Best of luck

Only need to be late in your 30s to remember that sort of thing. Is that old? :rolleyes:
