Anyone been smacked in front of the class at school?

When I was at school it was not unusual for misbehaving kids to be summoned to the front of the class and given a few smacks on the behind with a hand or a slipper. Anyone else had this experience?

A bit before my time. Had it in front of friends before and family of course.

When I was a teacher most punishments were dealt with quickly at the front of the class with a few smacks to the recalcitrant pupil. It was quick and effective and meant you dealt with the misbehaviour and could get on with the job of teaching the class.
