i got the strap across the palm of hands when i was in about grade 5 or 6 after about 5 of us did a raid on the the grade 3-4 section of the school.
punishment in 2nd and 3 grade for all was: giveth ye right hand,hold ye fingers up together and get hit on the tips of ye finger with a 24 inch ruler.. another was to have ye hair on the short area on the back of ye head and twisted hard. catholic school
Ouch. Worst punishment I've got would have to be detention. But ya know, if they even layed a finger on one of us, they'd be fired within a week or so. Some of my teachers have no control. Some kids actually throw things at them.. lol..
