the spanking
implements
the cane - a traditional
implement of english school discipline, banned in state schools
in the uk in the late 80s but was still used legaly in selected
public schools until the total ban in 1998. heavily used in some
public schools before the ban. used mostly on boys in uk schools
but plenty of girls have had it as well, is administered to palms
or buttocks. early in 1997 the then british education secretary,
gillian shepherd, wanted to restore the cane into schools but the
then prime minister, john major, said no straight away. the
campaign continued with major eventually agreeing to let
parliament have a free vote but told his party members to back
him which most of them had to do, it was voted 3 to 1 not to
bring it back. at the time most of the newspapers held their own
poles and in nearly all the papers 75% or more of the readers
voted that they would like to see the cane restored to schools.
the
slipper - probably the second most traditional implement of
english school discipline and a popular domestic spanking
implement administered mainly to the buttocks. the term slipper
does not always mean an actual slipper is used because the old uk
school slipperings were administered usually with an old gym
shoe. many schools favoured slippering girls ahead of caning them
probably due to it being less severe in terms of the pain and the
marks.
the paddle - a traditional implement of american
school discipline which is still used in about half of the states
in america. it is an implement administered to the buttocks only
due to it`s design. the paddles vary in length, width, and
thickness. some paddles also have holes drilled into them for a
faster delivery of the swat, ie, more pain/damage.
the belt - this is a very
popular implement for domestic discipline. the belt would usually
be doubled over or wrapped buckle end around the hand and
administered to the buttocks.
razor
strop/strap - i don`t know much about this implement. i would
guess that it`s mainly an american domestic discipline implement
along the lines of a strap/tawse/belt. administered to the
buttocks only i should think.
the
tawse - very popular implement for scottish school discipline
before corporal punishment was banned in state schools in the uk.
mostly administered to the outstretched palm but used on the
buttocks as well. (enter for demonstration picture)
the strap - similar in its use
to the strop, tawse, and belt, all three of which can be refered
to as straps. equally common for domestic use as well as school
use, administered to buttocks or palms of the hand.
the birch - formerly used in
selected schools and for judicial punishments, also used
domestically. usually administered to the bare buttocks as it`s
affect is greatly reduced over clothing. probably not too many of
these around now, it`s a rather old fashioned type of implement,
victorian times spring to mind.
