Memories: Mass Canings recalled

 

This correspondent to a local newspaper in 1982 recalls mass canings at his school, when children skipped classes to watch the local hunt. He also recounts a case where a headmaster caned about 450 boys when no one would own up to writing graffiti on walls. We heard about that case here, but at the time it was reported only 200 boys were caned.




As published in the Evesham Journal, 17 June 1982
