about her upbringing in various country`s. She mentions how her
father was strict with discipline and how she moved around from

convent school she attended and how the nuns would use various `Torturous`
punishments for bad behaviour. She explains how she was made to
hold out a clenched fist in front of an entire class and had it
whacked with a plastic ruler, for some time and with some vigour
by a nun, because she threw her hat out of a window to see how it
would glide. She doesn`t explain any other punishments that were
used, but one of my site contributors recalls a newspaper article
about her and she mentions being caned across the backside at
convent school. Cleo goes on to explain in the book that she was
eventually expelled from the convent school, `Hooray,` was her
reaction to that.

about Dolly. - Dolly Parton told the reporter that her father
hated make-up and every time she was found with make-up on it was
off to the woodshed where she had to bare her backside and bend
over for her father to whip her with a belt. She said: "It
hurt terribly but I gritted my teeth as I went through it again
and again. When you were in your early teens a pair of red lips
were more important than a burning backside."
Emma
Noble - In an interview with, Hello Magazine, the
British TV hostess/model was asked, what did you want to be when
you were a little girl? and she replied: "When I was about
seven years old I wanted to be an actress and I would beg my mum
and dad to take me to the pictures and to the theatre. I sort of
went off it when I became a teenager - I think school kind of
beat it out of me."
Emma Chambers - In a magazine
article the British actress spoke of her time at a strict
boarding school. she said: "I was 9 or 10 and, because it
wasn`t brilliant at home, it was the best place for me. But I
detested my prep school. In fact, I think I have blanked out a
lot of my memories because I was so distraught about having left
my mother, and it was the most horrendous place. It was the kind
of place where they beat you.
Gloria
Hunniford - The Irish TV presenter recalling her
childhood in her biography, mentions that her sister always
wanted to be a teacher and treasured a blackboard and cane she
recieved as a gift. She remembers her sister practising her
teaching on her by setting her work and asking her questions,
which if she got wrong would get a wrap on her knuckles with the
cane. She also recalls her schooldays and a particular teacher
who would ask quick maths questions to anyone who arrived late
for class. Anyone who got a question wrong or was too slow in
answering would be taken over her knee for a spanking, Gloria
said that her sister`s teaching had prepared her well and often
saved her from getting spanked.

punishment, notably the cane. Mr John Nettleship, Rowling`s
physics master at Wyedean Comprehensive, described school
headmaster, Mr Ken Smith, as the man who had reintroduced
corporal punishment into the school, and as a "stern man
with a cane". Mr Nettleship, nicknamed stinger by his pupils,
also describes how he would ask his class pupils snap questions,
and told how he would specifically pick on Joanne, in a nice way,
recognising that she was one of the brighter pupils in the class.
Mr Nettleship explained: "Back in the 70`s it was spare the

Rowling would dread Mr Nettleship`s double physics lesson, but
stops short of directly saying whether she had received any
corporal punishment herself.

performing well enough in training. Mary not only fired her
father but had him banned from attending her matches. This is

may not be connected to spanking, although i have had two site
contributors telling me that they heard she used to get spanked.
