Memories: 14 cuts in one day
‘In my first day at boarding school I was caned almost every day,’ journalist Michael Cobden wrote in 1980. ‘We were caned for talking after lights-out, for running in the quadrangle, for jumping down steps, for having dirty shoes, for untidiness, bad manners, lateness and insubordination.’ Prefects did most of the caning.
As published in the Kingston
Whig-Standard (Kingston, Ontario, Canada), 23 April 1980.
