You were lucky because our hidings were severe and not love taps. The worst ones were swimming sessions when we were whipped with the nylon cord from the whistle. Your backside gets used to it and would get whacked at least 3 or 4 times per week. Worst beating was with a Bunsen burner stand (metal) when the science teacher went nuts but ironically I avoided that session with a great lie. I hadn't done my homework and wrote in my book ask teacher as unsure and he said that I was the only honest one in the class. Kids have no clue how bad things were and to be honest I am better for having experienced this.

The way you describe it sounds brutal but I agree with you about anyone having gone through that is likely better off because of it. The coddling that youth receive today doesn't appear to be benefitting them very much.
