A little more intense when I was in school... Common practice if you disrupted the class was to be called to the front of the class, bend over and grab your ankles facing the rest of the class and receive one or two swats with a wood paddle. Yes, both boys and girls
@ChrissieMe It stung pretty bad. In that bent over position the "sit-spot" (term you may or may not heard about) was a perfect target for the swat. Once the sting set in, it was hard not to yell out and rub your behind to ease the sting. Doing that would have been way too embarrassing to do in front of the others, so we did our best to show it had no effect. Of course, then when you returned to your seat, you had to sit on the forementioned "sit-spot" which was very uncomfortable for a couple hours.
