Memories: Pro-caning father recalls whacking
In a newspaper debate on school caning in

At the time of the article, the cane had
been outlawed in British schools for more than 10 years.
Read the full for and against debate

Beautifully curved bottom even though he is only half bent down. But why is the reacher the other side of the desk? And where is the cane?
ReplyDeleteThat’s AI for you but it’s a great image
DeleteSorry, teacher, not reacher. But l agree about the image. Can we have more like that?
DeleteI'm not interested in Tom Brown or rabbits but l can't keep my eyes off this beautiful bottom. I wish l was standing just this side of him ready for the off.
DeleteI wonder if he would keep still. What does anyone think?
ReplyDeleteI suggest that, as he is nowhere near touching the floor, he wants to get up as soon as he feels it's getting too much. If he were confident of staying the course he would bend double and let the teacher get on with it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely picture. I wish l could cut it out and stick it on the wall.
