Oh- but please, Miss," he implored, his fear now manifest in a far more discernable tremor in his voice. He found he was shaking his head, although without consciously being aware of it, he dared not actually speak a refusal out loud. The investigation will almost certainly be conducted by someone outside the Home Office, probably a leading lawyer. The allegations, made by a former teacher, were that boys were treated as "thugs" and beaten up. The hearing of one boy was said to be affected for two weeks after a beating. Seeing her behind her desk, hands apart and holding the cane horizontal at the level of her slender waist, he began to truly feel the magnitude of his predicament. Grateful that at least the knowledge of their meeting would go no further, he replied promptly. "Thank you, Miss." It's going to be six for you Thomas, this time. Make no mistake, even for a senior, six strokes of the cane will be a very salutary lesson and, you can take it from me, it's going to be a lesson that you will not forget in a hurry."

Aunty Judy/Mum provides an extension or alternative to the Old School experience.These 121 sessions are for naughty boys, girls and special girls. The master who took the photographs claimed that beatings there had contravened approved school regulations.When the present Government took office it published some revolutionary suggestions for changing the juvenile courts and treating young offenders.

If, as you seem to be claiming, the leeway granted to senior boys is really to blame, I'm going to make a suggestion. Perhaps it's a little unconventional. Some might argue that it bends the rules of our usual approaches to school discipline. But, if you believe an ultimatum with tangible and specific consequences is what you require, perhaps there is a way for me to oblige. In fact, I'm suddenly feeling quite optimistic that we can come to an arrangement."Reformed: A nervous Stacy awaits her punishment with dread, knowing what to expect from the Headmaster's cruel cane. Her fear intensifies when she learns how many strokes she is to be awarded - three dozen. It is every bit as bad as she fears - yet she endures.

Her sentence had hung in the air and there was simply no need for her to continue. He knew her policy well. No false promises, no empty threats. It would have been hard for him to explain, but there was something beguiling in the incongruity between her relaxed, friendly manner and his memories of seeing supposedly hardened bullies scurry off to the toilets to hide their tears at the end of yet another painfully unequal confrontation in Miss Sternwood's office. It was precisely this conflation of fear and desire that had occupied so many of his erotic dreams over the last couple of years. He was sent to the approved school for stealing three bicycles, the fourth occasion he had been accused in a juvenile court. I'm sorry it had to come to this Thomas, but to your credit you took your discipline in good grace, and I suggest you return from the holidays with a much better focus, and a determination to excel yourself in the exams this summer." OK,” he continued,“All who would rather that I cane every student here rather than drawing lots please raise your hands.” Again, no hands were raised.There was talk of abolishing approved schools and replacing them with various types of homes and schools under the control of local councils. I know that! Why do you think I'm complaining? The brat was smiling when I finished. Six, bah! It's nothing!" It is not recorded whether Anthony Chenevix-Trench, the former Eton headmaster, quoted Proverbs 13:24 [56] to the boys he flogged, but glowing testimonies from them following allegations that he was a brute and an alcoholic suggest the essence of the quotation sank home. Card writes that staff at the school were embarrassed by Chenevix-Trench's drinking and that he "regarded corporal punishment not as a last resort, but almost as the first". [57] Many of them are violent. About 20 p.c. of them have never yet committed an offence but are merely beyond parental control. Chenevix-Trench's public profile saw a corresponding rise; in 1958 he appeared on the BBC television programme The Brains Trust as a panellist, broadcast on television during the peak time Sunday afternoon slot and then rebroadcast on Home Service radio the following day. [28] Anthony Sampson, describing the headmasters of leading public schools in the original edition of the Anatomy of Britain in 1962, called Chenevix-Trench a "heroic and unusual man". He was the only headmaster appointed to the Committee on Higher Education which produced the Robbins Report [29] that led to significant British university expansion in the decade and later. He signed the Marlow Declaration on society and equality, and declined headmasterships at a host of top schools including Shrewsbury. On 4 March 1963, the BBC announced that he would be the new headmaster of Eton. [30] Eton College [ edit ] Chenevix-Trench was uneasy amidst Eton's traditional grandeur, the aristocratic parents and the fiercely independent housemasters.

Nanopants: Jessica is to be made an example of. She is to be given six of the best with the cane, and her ordeal involves the wearing of special high-tech punishment pants, ultra-thin and transparent and even clingier than latex. They are so tight they are mighty uncomfortable when Jessica bends to touch her toes for the cane, and the fabric does nothing to dilute or protect the wearer from the intense sting of the rattan. Although these stories take place within a school-based setting they differ from the more realistic accounts typically found within the schoolgirl spanking fiction genre. They are, however, representative of Frank Martinet's distinctive approach to spanking fiction, and so tend to focus on the actual punishments rather than the details of school life in general. Our unique long-standing event - it happens just once a year - where we joyfully celebrate this English vice. The master making the allegations at first refused to go to the Home Office because, he said, he feared an inquiry could lead to the dismissal of a headmaster who was merely typical of many others. Having set The Longest Journey (1907) around his snobbish, militaristic school Tonbridge – called Sawston in the novel – EM Forster delivered the harshest of all one-liners about the products of the British public school. They go out into the world, he wrote in 1927, “with well-developed bodies, fairly developed minds and undeveloped hearts”. But by the 1920s, more of them were opening. To most Britons, possession of limited knowledge and not too much emotional intelligence must have seemed a sensible preparation for joining the club that ran the world. “They say that Eton taught us nothing,” crowed the first world war general Sir Herbert Plumer at a dinner of the school’s old boys’ society in 1916. “But I must say they taught it very well.”

Rule 35 for approved schools says that six strokes is the maximum permitted for boys aged under 15.
