Rule or switch on the palm of hands. For bad grades or misbehaviour at school, I got the 'reword' at home, with the belt.

I think most of our generation in the UK went to schools where the cane was used. Hard and often, certainly in my case.

@ernestcharles The parochial school run by the nuns used a strop on the bare bottom or the back of the thighs; the junior college I went used a strap on both hands or on a bare bottom up to 16 years old; for the senior boys, there was no provision in the rule for corporal punishments neither was any article article prohibiting the use of a cane , a strap or a paddle by the concerned authorities when they deemed it necessary for the common good of the students. By the way, so immature I was, T found the way of getting the strap twice, kneeling in front of the prefect in my senior years
