Do teachers actually used to beat students at school?

My mom told me they do and that I'm super lucky and so on.
and she told me that the schools are a lot stricter than now.

Yes, I went to a school with nuns, used to hit on the hand with a wooden ruler, quite hard too.

My mother used to tell me the nun in her school had the leg of a stool attached to her belt, and that's what she hit the kids with.... (that was back in the 1950's Ireland)
