“My school punishment” – 1
Some extracts from a thread on an Indian-based forum back in 2004, which also attracted contributions from other countries:
Farah – One day I was caught kissing with my boyfriend during school hours… . I got 5 strokes on my buttocks for a punishment.
Tina – I’m from Malaysia. I was given 6 strokes of the cane on the bottom before for repetitively not doing my homework. It was extremely painful and embarassing. I can’t believe I still get the cane even when I am already 15.
Bhoomika – In my schools, girls and boys both receive hard punishment. Most common are canning of palm, canning of bottom and of course murga punishment.
Belinda – Yes, I am usually caned by my teacher for talking and speaking rude words. The teacher rewarded me 6 strokes*–that is not the best for me. After that she took me to the principal’s room. The principal lectured me and ordered me to bend down on the table. She hit me 2 strokes with the rotten stick . VERY BAD!!!!
Priyanka -What’s all this fuss about Murga? What is it? Is it worse than getting caned with a footruler on the legs in front of the whole class and bearing the cane marks for 2 weeks after that?
Tanushree_bhattacharya: Well,in my school there was no such punishment as murga.Caning was almost regular. Standing in front of the class also was common. While other teachers caned either on palm or legs, our maths miss alone caned us in humiliating manner.
Kajon: The worst punishment I got was in 11th. standard.I threw a chalk at a boy and it hit the teacher. She sent me to the headmistress. She slashed the cane thrice across my thighs.
Manasi – I am 17 and got cane on my bottom last week. I forgot to do my homework and copied it from another girl in the washroom and was caught. I had to bend over headmsitress desk. The seven strokes were terrible and I must use cream
