    A couple of my friends at school got the strap.....the teacher(Mr Christian) would lay 3 pieces of chalk across your palm and proceed to turn them to powder. Scary man.
    I was put on the "hot seat" a few times. It was outside the principals office and any teacher that felt like it could pay out on you.
    We had a teacher that was 7 foot tall that used a broomstick. The marks would sit 4-6 weeks on your butt.
    Yeeooowwwww!!!!!!!

    when I was in grade 2 or 3...can't remember...I got the strap. [i}as the thick 1cm leather belt of the junior school principal slapped my tiny hand...a cry burst forth. it didn't stop until 5-10 mins later. During that time, my hand had this pulsating sensation that neither tickled nor hurt - an inbetween that was unbearable. The meat in my hand had sunk 0.5 - 1 cm due to the belt.[/i] I'll never forget that day. I've also received the paddle. It's basically a smack...but at school. I got it from grade 4 till year 7. in year 8, I told myself, I don't want to get it anymore. It had almost become a prerequisite for every year, but I didn't want it anymore. Plus...my butt was kinda getting sore

    I don't think that 2.5 mill can be justified over a strap/cane though. It's just not right I dont think

    wow! Ok then...I take that back! If it was for disciplinary reasons...then I don't think it could have been justified...but that! That was in my clear opinion abuse...and that just isn't on.

    Our class was notorious throughout my highschool career, we reduced 4 female teachers to tears, 1 teacher told us "stuff you" and walked out of class, and 1 student teacher quit his studies after 1 period with us.

    In all the cases we got hit, we fully deserved it. We started holding competitions to see who would get smacked the most in a year - for every time you got smacked you would make a black mark on the inside of your tie. At the end of the year 90% of us were walking around with black ties.

    Got the cane once (well six times at once) cus i was on bell duty that day and insisted on ringing the bell for the end of class too early! Other than that I had a maths teacher years later who could clip your ear at thirty paces with a piece of chalk (without even facing you, I swear!)

    In a cavern, in a canyon,
    Excavating for a mine,
    Dwelt a miner, forty-niner
    And his daughter Clementine.
    Oh my darling, Clementine

    Gee ... that's a real shame.

    Here they send home permission slips ~ corporal punishment yes/no.
