When I was in early years school "the strap" was still legal, which meant that if someone was naughty enough they copped a leathery belt across their backside. There was actually a specific device for doing this that was kept in the office. Our principal would occasionally bring it in if he'd heard someone was misbehaving, just to warn people... or rather threaten...

Seems pretty barbaric in today's PC society but as per your experience it was normal back then.
