Six of the best - a punishment thread

**Fatt Max** · 21st August 2009, 16:02

So, anyway.....

All that bollocks about the big deal made over a few slaps at a school rugby match and the typical 'touchy feeley' way it was handled......see other threads...

But, me and a few of the boys were discussing over a pie and a pint as to how punishment was dished out at school when we were caught acting the dickhead.

Nowadays, these little pricks can expect no more than a seat at a 30 minute focus group plus a pamphlet on anger management for just about burning the fucking school down.

The headmaster at the school I tried to avoid all those years ago in London was......well.....a fucking maniac. His favoured form of dishing the biff was six whacks with a football boot, studs in. I got spanked that many times my arse ended up looking like a golf ball...mind you, it was'nt exactly a small target......

So, how were you punished in the good ole days before the fucking yanks and Oprah decided to tell everyone who to lead a PC.....

We had one teacher who was definitely a sadist.He would make us bend over with our heads under a desk and then cane us.Wack on the arse and then bonk the head.

We had a sliding scale of punishment for spelling mistakes...

Those who were good at spelling (like I was) got two whacks over the arse with the cane per mistake.
Those who were average spellers got one whack per mistake.
Those who were poor spellers only got one whack per mistake.

Seemed to me at the time that ability wasn't worth the extra arse whacking...

In general the schools I went to all used canes to belt kids, either on the hand or the bum. We used to keep count by putting notches in the desk lids...mind you, one end of term some bright spark got hold of the cane and hacked it up into little short lengths..now he DID get an arse-whacking - once they got another cane...

In saffer land it was the good old cane up till recently when Opera came into power.

Normally two for not doing your homework to 6 of the best for serious stuff like brawling at rugby games

Once I was waiting for my dishing out of wacks when I overheard the guy in front of me getting shouted at. Apparently he had hung out side the train doors between stations when riding home one day and got caught. It was a friday so the teacher said, that's it you are getting 6 of the best, but you have to come back on monday to get them.

btw its beer 'o clock

A huge variance in style and ability for us all to enjoy, as I recall....

TD teacher: Hand of offender placed on desk and given the opportunity to whisk it away before the ruler slammed down on the knuckles, best of three attempts. If you refused you got the slipper, if you failed you got the slipper, if you won you got the slipper for cheating

PE teacher: offender made to hang by arms from wall bars in gym. If you could hang long enough for him to get bored he'd throw a medicine ball at your unprotected stomach and or bullwhackers, at which point you would fall about six feet to the floor and break something.

The head master or beak: Not a very imaginative man, six of the best with a cane on the buttocks.

The prefect: A metal spanner whacked on top of your head although the perpetrator later ceased this barbaric practice after I hung him up on a coat peg and beat the living crap out of him

I make that, authority figures 3, Martybabe 1, although I did actually get the cane for making the prefect cry

Ah yes, school days, the best days of your life, all the pilchards you could eat, a nice little cap with a button on the top and a weekly beating, whether you needed it or not.

P.S., If any of my former teachers are reading this, PM me please, I'd love to meet up, best of three chances to escape from my axe suit ya, you sadistic mother fuckin cowards.

Phew, I feel better now, thanks Max!

We had a tech drawing teacher/enginerring teacher with an attitude.One day a guy was cheeky and teacher had his period,so took said kid outside,another laughed,so teacher told him to go to washroom,another snigger and another victim,this happened numerous times,teacher would say ah 7,like to cane even numbers,so I volunteered,in the end the whole class was in washroom,he gave us a warning.15 kids to cane was too many.

Razor strap was the most common at home, wooden spoon, coat hanger, belt, a bar of soap in a sock, rolling pin, fire place poker, broom handle, jug cord

Then at school it was the strap or the cane, or a padder tennis bat

It was a bloody free for all

I don't smack my kids with anything - but they're better kids than I was

Spare the rod, spoil the child.
Still relevant today.
(not that anyone is listening)
Straps n canes cause less pain and suffering than being fucked up the arse by 8-10 prison mates because you never learnt how to behave/act in society.(so I'm told)

In the 3rd form we had a maths test every day,everyone who failed was caned.I have recently discovered I am dyscalculiac...dyslexia with numbers - so I was caned everyday at maths.We used to notch our belts,I got halfway round....some guys were on their second belt,after notching both sides.

All I learned from capital punishment was not to get caught - this skill has helped me considerably throughout my life.

At high school there was a teacher who had been banned from caning - he had used a fibreglass fishing rod on a young mans arse and drew blood ......

He proudly displayed the rod on the wall behind his desk.

We also had a music teacher interested in boys arses - it was just another 'rod' that he was interested in whacking around their butts. Years later I see his name in the courts section of the paper - he was being put away for hiding his sausage up some young lads date-hole.

**Motu** · 21st August 2009, 20:20

They weren't allowed to draw blood on a caning,and they knew how far to push.So the number of whacks wasn't a guide to the pain,more the severity of the offence.I once had blood drawn with 2 whacks,and I nearly passed out....I didn't push the offense on the teachers side,as the next step was to be expelled - and that was the real fear.My mother would have been mortified (dunno a stronger word) if I was expelled from school.We were having the education she was denied - going to highschool was living her dream.It didn't matter if we passed School Cert or went higher in our education,just to send her kids to high school was important to her....and we knew it.

Mum gave up on wooden spoons- they kept breaking (what she expect my ass got hard a a muay thai fighters shin form daily attention!)

In my day- AHD or ADD or whatever was never heard of, 'hyper' kids like me got the strap/dog leash/cane/spoon/jug cord or whatever till we conformed

And I am FINE i tell u- fuckin fine and you BETTER (twitch) believe it! Or ELSE YOU HEAR!
