Paddles were the weapon of choice for the public schools near me.My handwriting is horrific; job requirement. Anyway my 2nd grade teacher who taught Palmer Method would whack me weekly with a ruler on the palm of my hand. If you didn't hold out your hand you got paddled.
Everyone knew when paddling time was.
The schoolmarm/teacher would call the names on her list and escort them into the hall.
Just outside the schoolroom was a building exit.
The exit was double entry/exit. Enter 1 set of doors, then a second set to proceed.
One at a time, the doomed on the list were taken into the "void" between the doors and paddled.
It did not take much to get on that list. Seems I knew how to get an invitation on a regular basis.
