It was a paddle and typically the purview of the principal. That was in the 60s and 70s.
It was also pretty easy to avoid and as you got older it was done less and less with things like cafeteria duty being preferred, mostly because guys in junior high would prefer to take a few licks than to miss any free time at lunch.

If you were acting up. A teacher would send you out into the hallway
A coach would walk by soon enough. Ask why you were there. Confirm with teacher. Get paddle. Light my arse up and let me back into class

Gen X here. In elementary there was this old black vice principal who carried a paddle around everywhere he went. The paddle had holes in it to make it hurt more, and he used it daily on the bad kids. ETA yeah, like the one in the pic.

You meant the parents will show up and bitch about why their precious little baby is in detention. I much more common scenario. Just not reported in the news.

Very similar to what TigerGman posted but longer. Sort of made a whistling sound when A-hole Gerard swung it.

Not a boomer, but u would get a paddling with a long, wooden paddle. Some teachers, especially alpha male teach ra would get hand made on a that would do major rage and was light as hell.
I got hit one time and I couldn't sit down, it hurt so bad. Worst part, he got me a little to high, and got the lower back also so it was pain in 2 regions

Yup got hit with on like this in the 8th grade in front of the teachers lounge right before lunch. All of the homemech class girls were standing at their door waiting on the bell to go off and they witnessed it. The guy seated in front of me was arguing with the guy seated behind me and the teacher said "you 3 follow me."
Gen X not a Boomer so never mind.

I got swatted one time with that. Mr. Marshall had no sense of humor that we had made a dummy out of old smelly Tee Shirts because he forgot to order the football buses and we were two hours late to play. Maybe the sign with his name around his neck upset him.
We forgot to pull him off the basketball goal in the gym when the buses arrived .....Old Coot ....

Gen X here.
Nuns would swat the arse with a wooden paddle when I was younger.
The technique changed by the time I hit 8th grade. The target became mid to upper thigh. Maybe her swing was the same but I was just taller.
By high school, it was verbal abuse and empty threats of physical abuse. They showed us the paddle with a stencil print that read, “Board of Education”, so we could at least admire the humor of corporal punishment.

Paddle and got in trouble when I got home for misbehaving and embarrassing the family. Didn't hurt long just stung but I never did it again. We need paddling back. I l9ved and respected those teachers even after being punished. Hey cared enough to correct me.

Not a boomer but my junior high VP had a board with holes drilled through it and used it often enough.

The nuns carried those wooden yard sticks, and if you weren't paying attention, they would smack your fingers on top of the wood desk and the pain would shoot up your arms and through your arse. And God help you if you cursed when she did it!

You got a choice - 3 licks or 3 days suspension
That was standard at our school. But, 5 licks for slightly more serious stuff. There was also 5 licks and detention.
Lastly, suspension. I've lived to tell about all of those options

I'm Gen-X, but our coaches ran the athletes with an iron fist. You didn't even have to screw up in Athletics. Your teacher could just mention to coach in passing that you were acting a fool in their class. We had one in particular that could swing a paddle harder than Barry Bonds at the end of a cycle. It was either that, or 1,000 yards of bear crawls.

Lafayette Elementary School on Lafayette…early 60s. Coach Campbell, all 6’7” of him. He walked around with a custom-made long handled paddle. When he busted some kid, you literally heard it all over school.
Then there the bad director, Mr. Kenny… he used a cello stand !
Not many discipline problems back then.

He was pretty tall with really short hair and dark skin. Made sergeant not too long after. Believe he's retired as a SgtMaj now.
