Did you have to "Do Lines" as punishment at school?(both)

Never heard of it in Tasmania in the 70's
Punishment? I really do not remember any punishment but the cane - or cuts as they were call.
I usually received 6 "cuts" on each hand for not doing my homework

Had one junior high teacher who would do something different. If she caught anyone, usually boys, doing little monkey shines she would make them continue to do it till class was over. One boy thought it’d be funny to wad up a piece of paper and toss it into her trash can by her desk while she had her back turned to the chalkboard & talking. She turned around and caught him and said it was so funny she thought he should continue to do the same thing till class was over. So he wadded up notebook paper and tossed it for the next 45 minutes. She was young & strict & had eyes in the back of her head.

@cherokeepatti I saw the teacher's trick for seeing the students behind them while they are writing on the chalkboard. They place a picture above the chalkboard covered by glass and angled so they can see the reflection of the students behind them as they write on the chalkboard. The movie doubt showed that trick.
