I have researched the accounts of ‘the Lady With the Birch’ as well as I can. I have narrowed its location down to Oakfield Road, in Clifton, near Bristol. A rather well to do and respected residential district. I have scoured as many Victorian photographs of dwellings in that typical middle class suburban district as I can find, here is one of Rokeby House.This story is based on the true recorded events of a finishing school in Bristol, England in the late 1800’s.

But, now, after a few letters to the right people, I do not think that is the house we are looking for. But it gives you a good impression of the well to do area. The cane was generally administered in a formal ceremony in public/private to the seat of the trousers or skirt, typically with the student either bending over a desk/chair or touching their toes. Usually there was a maximum of six strokes (known as "six of the best"). Such a caning would typically leave the offender with uncomfortable weals and bruises lasting for many days after the immediate intense pain had worn off.

As early as the 1920s, the tradition of prefects at British public schools repeatedly caning new boys for trivial offences was criticised by psychologists as producing "a high state of nervous excitement" in some of the youngsters subjected to it. It was felt that granting untrained and unsupervised older adolescents the power to impose comprehensive thrashings on their younger schoolmates whenever they chose might have adverse psychological effects.

In Malaysia, the Education Ordinance 1957 specifically outlaws the caning of girls in school. [21] However, the caning of girls is rather common. This caning is usually carried out on the palm or clothed bottom. [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] Sometimes, the cane can hit the student's thighs or arms, causing injury, usually in the form of bruises, bleeding, or obvious welts. [27] [28] Students (both male and female) can even be caned publicly for minor mistakes like lateness, poor grades, being unable to answer questions correctly or forgetting to bring a textbook. [27] In November 2007, in response to a perceived increase in indiscipline among female students, the National Seminar on Education Regulations (Student Discipline) passed a resolution recommending allowing the caning of female students at school. [29] The resolution is currently [ when?] in its consultation process. Finally, he'd told her that she must limit any punishment to no more than six strokes, although this could be extended by a maximum of three 'extras' if the victim interrupted the punishment by putting her hands in the way or standing up.Think about this for a while, a Victorian Lady, with her own finishing school, especially for the naughtiest of girls. Where birching and other forms of corporal punishment are used, at her discretion. To correct them and turn them into ‘fine young ladies’ A real woman, paid to punish naughty young ladies…into their early twenties. It’s quite something isn’t it? Girls were caned too, but generally less frequently than boys. [33] [34] According to a 1976–1977 survey done by the Inner London Inspection Authority's Inspectors, almost 1 in 5 girls were caned at least once in the authority's schools alone. [35] Caning in schools for girls were rarer but not unseen. [36] [37] [38] King, Ronald (1989). The Best of Primary Education?: A sociological study of junior middle schools. London: Falmer. p.53.

The most effective place to apply a stroke was the 'sit spot', he said, the point where the bottom joins the thigh. Flo already knew that from bitter experience: her two canings from the Headmaster had both culminated in a powerful lash to the 'sit spot'.

Member states of the Convention on the Rights of the Child are obliged to "take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse." Some British private schools still permitted caning to be administered by prefects in the 1960s, with opportunities for it provided by complex sets of rules on school uniform and behaviour. [47] In 1969, when the question was raised in Parliament, it was thought that relatively few schools still permitted this. [48] I have read the interview by the reporter, where Mrs Walters describes her birchings, the number of strokes, the screaming girls, how they react and eventually accept the birch, and are grateful for it mastering them etc etcIn some schools, corporal punishment was administered solely by the headmaster, while in others the task was delegated to other teachers. At the approved schools between 1933 and 1970, the normal maximum number of strokes was eight for boys of 15 and over, and six for boys and girls below that age. In particular, boys who absconded were typically given a maximum caning of 8 strokes on the clothed bottom immediately on return to the school, and a 1971 statistical study found that this could be an effective deterrent.
