Private school. So things are/were a little different. This incident happened in the early 90's.
Even back then, kids weren't being disciplined in the public schools at all. But, in private school, the cane was still accepted as a punishment. In fact, I still remember one of the students a couple years older me having a field hockey stick broken (yes, broken!!) over his backside for repeated smoking offenses. And the school had the parents' authorities to discipline as the headmaster saw fit. I don't know if that's still true there today (probably not), or if things have been watered down.
Cheers!
