Memories: Caned almost every day

 

In my first term at boarding school I was caned almost every day. Caning was the most common form of punishment. And since there were hundreds of rules to be broken, there was a great deal of caning. 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 – Michael Cobden shares his memories with newspaper readers in 1980.
