I got beat with a 2x4 at one of the schools I went to. They carved a handle out of one end and used it as a “paddle” kind of thing. Some schools do even worse, though. Canes, switches, and “belts”(in quotation marks because it’s often just a strap of leather, sometimes split at the end) can break skin.
This largely went away in public schools, but never did in private schools. Many children get sent to private schools just for the corporal punishment. Sometimes, they offer “scholarships” just for those kids if the family can’t afford tuition.
I got pinched and slapped by my homeroom teacher in high-school a lot. I jumped her out side a grocery store and beat the shit out of her with a chunk of garden hose filled with bb’s
Thin, supple branches from a tree or large bush. Often, part of the punishment is having to go out and pick your own switch, and getting extra hits of you pick one that’s not good for hitting with. Otherwise, they just have one on hand that’s specifically for punishment.
Corporal punishment might have made sense in a preindustrial society, where most people were physically tougher (by necessity), and societal relationships tended to be much more personal in nature. It makes absolutely no sense for a modern, industrialized nation like the United States.

Switches?

Something like that:

I got beat as well, as did my peers. I’m in my mid twenties – this was not long ago.
