I have been spanked, forced to do frog jump, kneel and stretch my hands mostly in Primary and Junior secondary school but the hardest one that took it toll on me was in Primary 3. It was Music class, the whole class was rowdy. After repeatedly warnings from the teacher to be silent fell on deaf ears, he ordered us all to stand up, lift our desk above our heads and remain in that position for what seem like eternity. The amount of tears shed by pupils in that class cannot be estimated. Trembling arms, sweating and sobbing faces, running noses, it was nothing short of pains upon pain.

Despite being one of the biggest in the class, I was literally broken, worn out and at the brink of weeping until the teacher set us free. What is the hardest corporal punishment you ever served growing up in school, home or elsewhere?
