Indeed! I think that this is a punishment offense in itself. It was a ploy by many schoolgirls in the older days in an attempt to avoid having their knickers pulled down completely or at all; the latter seemed to work with this teacher was concerned. The cane should, in my opinion, be delivered on the bare backside and knickers removed completely so as to deprive the female any sense of modesty.
Zu schade, dass Miss Parsons nun doch nicht den Rohrstock bekommt. Ich würde zu gerne ihren Platz einnehmen, und den Stock von Miss Bainbridge bekommen ... am Besten auf den Blanken.
Suspender belt should be under the knickers not over the top. This should be corrected before punishment so panties could be easily lowered during the punishment.
I had a very strict Headmistress at one school I went to, she caned and slippered the girls, and on occasions boys too! I've always wished I'd been sent to her for the slipper or cane on my bare bottom.
