My parents told me of elementary school stories where the principal was supposed to have a length of rubber hose in his office with which to spank delinquent kids, but they never knew anybody that actually was given the hose treatment.
Catholic schools in the US are more strict than public schools, but I think they have abolished all forms of corporal punishment. (they used to hit misbehaving students on the hands (usually the palms) with a ruler in Catholic schools.)
Yeah, on palms here as well. Matriculation Higher Secondary School. There are around 8,386 schools in our state, more than 3,000 are administered by the Tamil Nadu Catholic Education Council of South India. The school I studied is run by Seva Missionary Sisters of Marry founder by John Kottaram - https://www.sevamissionary.org/education.html. There are also other Catholic schools run by others such as Sisters of St. Franciscan Clarist Congregation as the followers of St.Francis of Assisi, etc.
Yes, and I didn't like it.
No but my grandparents have I think.
Both mine allowed it..but that was perfectly normal at the time.
Abolished when I was teaching.
Nope.
Yes, elementary school (started school in 1952). It didn't happen regularly ... just the knowledge of the consequences was usually enough.
