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.

I seem to remember getting out of line in the 7th grade, apparently way out of line, it seems the baseball coach and I had a little meeting in the boys restroom with me doing all he yelling something about trying to hold on to the sink while the Coach got his 3 strikes. Didn't affect me overly, except to remember the cause and effect of getting out of line. Oh, for the 60's to return. BTW, according to Tommy Lee Jones ..Elvis ain't dead - he just went home!
