With over 61,000 words, this volume features the following 11 stories depicting the corporal punishment of schoolgirls:

Curiosity Hurts: Michelle Summers is an average student at school and has never been in serious trouble as she is afraid of getting strapped. However, she experiments with a strap at home, and this leads to her dreaming about getting strapped by the Headmistress. She deliberately misbehaves in class and ends up in the office of the acting Headmaster, where she hatches a cunning plan... which fails miserably, and she gets six of the best with the cane across her knickers and tights.

Cane Ratings: Mr Collins, headmaster, is undergoing a review by Mr Baker on how he deals with corporal punishment in his school. Mr Baker insists on observing two different punishments in the headmaster's office to see how well things are handled. The first student, Virginia, is caned with a fearsome senior cane known as 'The Monster'. Virginia bears it well, despite its ferocity. However, the second student, Siobhan, does not handle her bare-bottomed spanking with as much grace or dignity.

Diane at School: When four classmates suffer a rare caning after coming into possession of an exam paper, Diane confesses to the headmaster that the exam paper was in her hands first, so she deserves to be punished too. As she is a star pupil with a good record of behaviour, he excuses her for an unintentional error. But Diane has a reason to convince him punishment is deserved. A vividly depicted caning follows.

Dramatis Personae: John and his girlfriend, Jackie, have leading roles in the drama production their two schools are producing jointly. John accompanies Jackie one Saturday to copy scripts in her headmaster's office. While Jackie works at the photocopier, John snoops through the desk drawers and finds a tawse... which he manages to put to very good use.

Gambling Cure: Despite a stern no-gambling warning, five sixth formers think the rule does not apply to their poker games. They soon learn they're wrong in this assumption, and though fearful, line up for canings in lieu of suspension. To drive the lesson home, Mrs Wolfe announces that a different kind of card game will determine the number of strokes she will apply to the five miscreants.

School Council: Sixth former Emily is an exemplary student on the School Council, but finds herself in a tricky situation following an incident at a hockey match. At the latest Friday meeting of the School Council, it is her punishment that is discussed. The outcome is agreed, and she learns she is to be caned. She asks for her punishment to be delivered that afternoon, saying that would be better than waiting until Monday and agonising about it during the weekend. The headmaster agrees to carry out the punishment himself, and delivers six of the very best. But there are other things going on that the headmaster knows nothing about...

Knock on the Door: Lisa has a reputation for being the naughtiest girl in the school. In trouble again, she asks her older sister's friend, Andrea, for advice about what to expect. As Andrea goes through the details of possible punishments, the potential outcomes increase in intensity as Lisa admits the full extent of what she's done. With a sickening feeling, she fears the worst... the cane.

Smacks of Justice: Lucy settles down to life at her new school... a school which upholds firm standards of discipline. Her classmates tell her about the headmaster's 'induction spanking' and how ineffectual it is as opposed to the usual strap to the hands. Before too long, Lucy misbehaves in class and is sent to the headmaster's office. Expecting a few light slaps, she instead learns a lesson of pain and humiliation, resulting in a very red and sore bottom.

Forewarned: Lisa is called to the headmaster's office. For once, she's not in trouble, but she is the first student to learn that after half term a trip to the head's office may result in a very sore bottom. Following concerns about pupil behaviour, the school governors have decided that misbehaving pupils may be given the strap, or even the cane. Lisa is very nervous about her future!

The Deputy Headmistress: The strict deputy headmistress of a coed grammar school chronicles the challenging decisions she must make on a daily basis. She details the events of one week, as they relate to corporal punishment of the girls at the school. Punishments involving caning predominate as she explains the circumstances and follow-through of her actions with several misbehaving pupils.

TV Documentary: This documentary describes the decision of a private girls' school to implement corporal punishment by bringing back the strap and the cane. It reports on the debate that parents and students engaged in prior to the implementation of the new policy, and their feelings now, a year after the implementation. A few of the punishments given during that first year are described, along with how they were earned.
