Yeah, well .... in elementary and middle school it was switches and ping pong paddles.
Middle school it was leather strops, belts ... a piece of rubber hose one time.
High school ... big thick paddles that wouldn't break. Made out of 2x4s. My football coach in HS even had his last name carved in his paddle backwards so that it left an imprint on your arse like being branded. He'd also hit his ballplayers with a long clipboard, double handed, if he got a bad report from one of the teachers about one of his ballplayers.
The coaches in HS were the worst at administering corporal punishment.

Wooden and plastic paddles.
Principal did the whipping.
He’d have you lean against the desk, and SWACK!
Usually 3 to 5 licks.
When I got home, I’d get more with a belt.

Not a boomer. Eldest millennial here (1/81). We would get paddled with a yard stick in catholic school in mid-late 80s.

Worst teacher had arm from an old chair. The really worst was the principal's jockey bat which left welps.
The only guys who didn't chose paddle but stayed after school all turned out gay.

That Board of Correction paddle was thick. A male principal could do serious damage with one of these.

The Board Of Education applied to the seat of knowledge. Three swats or let's call your parents. You had to really screw up to get it. Usually the punishment was academic.

My kids are dumbfounded when I tell them that I got paddled for being late to class too many times in middle school. I think corporal punishment stopped Mid90s in my hometown.

My principal had a board with holes drilled in it. I only saw it once.

Board to the arse, right outside the classroom door. Helluva thing to walk back in, half crippled up sideways trying to act like it didn’t hurt

In Middle School several teachers and the AP had paddles. If you crossed the line you got one. If you’re kind of a smart arse, don’t get in trouble in a class taught by one of the coaches. They enjoyed it.

It looked like a boat paddle with holes drilled in it and a leather strap at the end of handle to wrap around your wrist.
Got it one time in 5th grade

In elementary school back int the 70s, principal had a standard paddle. When this prick would spank a kid he would turn on the school-wide intercom so everyone could hear the poor kid screaming. Real big man he was.
In senior year of high school, our prick of a principal liked to paddle people in front of a crowd on the school commons. This stopped when he went after the wrong guy and the paddlee punched this douche in the face. Coolest thing I ever saw.
Some principals can be some serious jerks.

I grew up in the 80s and the paddle was still in full use. I remember one kid named Derek who was always in trouble and by 4th grade he had learned to wear 4-5 pairs of underwear on days when he knew he was getting the paddling.
My experience also but I was in school from 1969 to 1981. I knew a kid that wore several pairs of underwear. I was whipped several time in grade school and twice for fighting in the 7th grade.

Paddles.
You were given a choice, a lick or two with a wooden paddle or they would call your parents. Everyone I knew chose the paddle.

Baseball bat barrell flattened, holes drilled. I avoided that thank goodness. Junior High teachers sent you straight to coaches office. A shop teacher (1969) made misbehaving students hold the wire and spark plug while he cranked a mower. Saw a HS coach lift a kid up by the throat and slam him against the lockers. Get a penalty flag in football for fighting and Monday practice you boxed three rounds with the biggest guys on the team. These were all effective measures.
One more, a couple of baseball teammates in Junior HS were caught chewing tobacco. Coach made them put a whole pouch in their mouth and wouldn't let them spit. Green is a skin color, no shite.
And our parents supported them.
