As Head Mistress, I have had some worrying reports about inappropriate behaviour regarding a teacher touching sixth form students in a s*xual manner. Mr Hughes must learn to keep his hands to himself and I have just the method to ensure it...

I sit Mr Hughes down in my office and explain that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated, and he must be punished. I show him the cane I use to punish my unruly students, but today it will be used to punish his wandering hands. I instruct Mr Hughes to stand and hold both of his hands out flat, palms to the ceiling. I ask him what he thinks would be a suitable number of strikes onto his hands for his misdemeanour. He suggests 6 of the best, which is nowhere near enough, so I double it. 12 of the best for this p*rvert teacher.

I line up my cane across his outstretched hands, and take the first strike. Mr Hughes hisses through his gritted teeth and folds his hands into fists as I explain that the first strike was a light one, merely a tester. I line up my second strike and the cane whistles through the air and makes contact with his filthy hands with a stingy thud. The teacher tenses his body momentarily but he knows this punishment must be completed, so he immediately straightens his back and presents his hands out once again to receive more strokes of my cane. I order him to count the strokes for me, to ensure he feels the significance of this punishment. With strike number 4 he rubs his hands together to attempt to remove some of the sharp sensations away from his flesh. I remind him that his inappropriate palms will be punished. After the 6th strike, I check his hands and they look a l*ttle sore- but not sore enough.

We are only halfway through, 6 more strikes to go. I continue to strike the teacher’s outstretched hands; each time the cane whips through the air he groans and bends over in p*in. I explain to him that I don’t care how much this hurts- his inappropriate behaviour hurts the reputation of this School, and I warn him that the last two strikes will be in quick succession. Strike 11 is delivered with perfection and ruthlessness, and I have to order the teacher to stand quickly and flatten his hands so that I can deliver the final 12th strike. I ensure that this last strike is the most severe of them all, to leave a lasting impression on this teacher. Now that his punishment is complete, I caution him and explain that I do not want to see him in my office again for this kind of offence. If he returns for another punishment, I will bring out the reformatory cane....

TEACHING HIM A LESSON: AN APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT FOR INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR
