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.

Corporal punishment in British state schools, and also in private schools receiving any element of public funding, was banned by parliament in 1987.

It was still practised when I was at school and it was largely a power issue then. There were probably less boys expelled then than there are now.

Curently schools can discipline pupils in other ways or exclude them for a fixed period (suspended) or a permanent period (expelled).
