Don't forget the nuns! My second grade teacher, a nun, was quick with a ruler on the back of one's hand. She must've been a novice,
the older ones used yardsticks and went for the rump.
Yardsticks weren't too bad, but heaven help you if they decided to use one of those round, wooden "pointers" that were about the same length. Those suckers hurt.

"You're sickling your ankles!" Whack!
"Tuck in that butt!" Whack!
A pointer to the ankle bone really hurts.

In my High School, the Jesuits used a sawed-off golf driver. THEN they made you bend over and hold your ankles while they applied it.
When that broke, they fashioned a paddle about 8" wide, and drilled holes in it to decrease wind resistance.
