I had a teacher in the sixth grade that would make you bend over and he would hit you with a broom. He would also throw chalk at you if you was not paying attention in class.

I’m a Gen X and my last experience was a little old lady teacher putting me (and my combatant) over her knees and spanking us. lol.
4th grade
Also had a typing teacher swat your knuckles with a scale if you began early.

GenX and the paddle was used.
Last time I was paddled was in my Jr year of high school. A friend and I got into a little scuffle. We were called to the principal's office the next day to discuss the situation and determine what mode of discipline we would receive.
We were given two options:
1. 10 hits with the paddle
2. Or go to all day clinic for the rest of the week. If you went to clinic, you still did all of your studies, took your tests, etc.. but you still scored Zero.
I took the paddling and my buddy took the clinic option
At one point both the principal and myself were pleading with him to take the paddling. His grades were borderline and he couldn't afford to fail. He wouldn't do it though and ended up having to repeat a class.
I talked shite to the principal the entire time I got the paddling. I kept telling him stuff like "C'mon man, my geriatric grandma can hit harder than that!"
He quit on #8 and told me: "You little shite, get outta here, obviously our dad has given you the belt a lot."

Went to Catholic School in 70's and 80's. Those nuns were Ningas! You never saw the ruler until she slapped the shite out of you with it. I was way more scared of my parents finding out I was bad at school than anything they could've ever done to me. In high school, as an athlete you could get written up and go to the office and get a detention or take a note to coach in the gym and get licks (short boat paddle-no holes). Of course, I took licks. My mom's best friend was the school secretary and I knew if I went to the office my mom would find out, so I always took licks. Problem is if you had to go to the gym a few times that week (Never really bad just a talker) coach is swinging for the fences by Friday!

the standard paddles and the paddles with the holes in them in hurt worse by a factor of 3 or 4.
Every school in the country had this lineup in the 80s.

Never experienced it firsthand, but I always heard they had paddles at my elementary school in the mid/late 80s.
Only reason I didn't experience it firsthand was my dad told them they could not paddle me because they would not hit us as hard as he will. That statement was met with a chuckle and a "you're probably right" from the principal.

I remember in 3rd grade our entire class was acting an arse in the lunchroom. After lunch the teacher lined everyone up front by the chalkboard and we all got a lick with her paddle. After elementary school all paddlings were administered by the principal. GenX by the way.

1 x 4 about 2' long with a carved handle, similar to a fraternity paddle board.

Grade school was ruler or yardstick, did one yr of catholic school in there and they thru in wooden paddle. When i was in HS it was just detention or suspension. Detention could be some clean up duties.

Principal had a big wooden paddle. If you got sent to the principal's office, depending on the severity of the crime, you either got 1 of 2 things: a good talking to with a call to your parents, or several licks with the paddle. Usually either action ending with a butt whippin, either at home or at school. It curbed bad behavior quite a bit, because the teacher just had to threaten a trip to the principal's office for you to quit acting up. Wish they still did that. Kids younger than high school could use a few light arse whippin's to get right. The world would be a lot better place. I was probably in 3rd grade when my parish school board banned paddling, but my 3rd grade teacher would hit you across the fingers with a #2 pencil and that still hurt like hell.

My middle school actually had the boat paddle.
Was the only time I ever got paddled. I remember bringing home the “Paddle Card” for my mom to sign. She actually laughed and said “well, if you did something that got you one of these - Im assuming you deserve it.”
The behavior principal who gave the paddlings was a really nice guy and had a great rep as a fair and caring administrator - but he went Bash Brothers on my arse like he was trying to put a 550’ homer into the parking lot.
I didn’t act up again. So I suppose it worked.
