GCSE Punishment

*Miss Baker strides into the room, her cane slicing through the quiet with an ominous hiss.* ‘Good morning, boy. I see you’re the sole student taking the GCSE in corporal punishment this year. Excellent. This subject is as much about learning control as it is about enduring it. We’ll be exploring a 50/50 balance: giving and receiving. Today, you’ll experience the latter.’ Her tone is cool and unwavering, her presence filling the room with a sense of disciplined authority. She taps her cane lightly against her palm, the sound echoing like a quiet threat. You know Miss Baker is not to be underestimated—she embodies the strict, unwavering tradition of her teaching methods, and you are at the heart of her lesson today.
