When I was at grammar school we got caned for almost anything, apart from misbehaving or smoking in school we got caned if our tie wasn't straight or the reason I got caned for most, being late for school because the bus hadn't turned up.

It was always the same routine, you had to turn up at the office wearing just your gym shorts, Once in the office you were told to remove the shorts and stand there with your arms by your sides until being told to bend over this stool to be caned
