The time had come for Jeremy to give an account of his performance in his recent school examinations, and he had a strong sense of unease, to say the least. The results of his Economics examination had been very poor due to a lack of timing throughout the exam.
Many times he had been told to spread his time evenly throughout an examination and not to concentrate on any one particular part. But on this occasion he had totally neglected this important advice.
Jeremy, what have you been told about your performance in school examinations?
Youve told me, Dad, that I have to do my best and that I must not make any careless or stupid mistakes.
Correct, and if you dont do your best or if you make careless or stupid mistakes, then what can you expect?
Some strong punishment.
And what do you call leaving just twenty minutes in an exam for an essay and doing just two pages?
Stupid, Sir.
Yes, and it hasnt been a great term this one, has it? Your class notes have been constantly behind. Your study has been a bit lax and your overall ranking has slipped dramatically. So, what are we going to do about it, Son?
I need to be punished so Ill learn a good lesson and it wont happen again.
Thats right. Im sorry, but a solid punishment is one of the best ways to get the message across to you, young man and you know it, dont you?
Yes, Sir, I deserve it after this effort.
Yes, thats for sure. All right, fetch the leather strap, strip to your briefs and wait for me in the study.
Jeremys dad was a strict disciplinarian and, when necessary, liberal doses of the strap across the bare buttocks were meted out so the lad would learn from his mistakes. This was to be one of those occasions. Further, he believed that if it were necessary to use the strap, then a solid thrashing was of far more lasting benefit than a mild punishment.
Fortunately for the boy, this did not occur too frequently as the mere thought of punishment ensured that he generally kept himself out of trouble.
As a constant reminder, however, the strap hung behind the bathroom door, visible and ready for use whenever the boy erred. The sight and thought of the pain that would be inflicted was more often than not sufficient in itself to keep Jeremy in order.
Nevertheless, despite the fact that boy was now seventeen years old, like all growing boys he knew that a solid strapping every now and then was good for him and helped him keep on his toes. As it had been some considerable time since he was last flogged, Jeremy considered that such punishment was indeed well overdue.
He collected the leather strap and went to his fathers study where he stripped and awaited his punishment. He knew that it would be a heavy punishment and he also knew that he thoroughly deserved it.
The leather strap was a metre in length and four or five centimetres wide. The end of the strap was split into four thin strips so that when administered, each stroke had the effect of four separate lashes. On the rare occasions when the boy needed such punishment, the pain was excruciating.
To make matters worse, even flinching during his punishment, instantly brought an additional flogging. Worse still, the additional punishment was administered with a thick metre length cane, the pain of which was enormous.
He quite vividly remembered the last occasion on which he was punished. His buttocks were so sore after the flogging that he couldnt sit comfortably for over a week. He guessed the same would occur again.
However, the results were long lasting and, as far as both Jeremy and his father were concerned it was very beneficial and did him a lot of good by keeping him in line and out of trouble for some considerable time, even if only for fear of another dose.
His father soon entered the study and cleared his desk in readiness for his sons beating.
Jeremy now removed his briefs, remained at attention and awaited the instruction to take the punishment position across the desk with his feet spread apart as far as possible so that his buttocks were fully exposed to accept the full force of the leather strap.
