Eighteen-year-old Belinda fails to receive good grades for her A-Level examinations, but her mother comes to the rescue when she finds an expensive academy offering a money back guarantee if students don't pass their exams with flying colours. Belinda is enrolled, and the Headmaster explains to her and her mother that a parent or guardian assumes equal responsibility for the student's performance. He also explains the sanctions and punishments in place if a student fails to meet the academy's high standards - in other words, both the student and their parent will be subjected to corporal punishment.

It isn't long before Belinda slips up. She attends classes with a hangover, she forgets her PE kit, she is rude to a member of staff, she submits work that is not her own ... all these infractions and more result in her and her mother being punished. They feel the headmaster's cane across their bottoms, and it is not pleasant! But their humiliation increases as a result of Belinda's most serious breach of the academy's rules which results in a public caning on the bare bottom!

This volume also includes the following stories: Mature Student at Wells School; Dreamliner; and The Documentary.
