In some of the better English schools the prefects, maybe even the seniors, had the right to cane the younger boys for their misdeeds. I recall being given the power to assign detentions. 'Write out Psalm 101 (or whatever) twice.' One of the psalms is very long. This was such obvious crap even then. And no fun.
