Take your pick at St. Greg's, Everton. Well, the teachers got to pick, not us.
The cane (hand or backside), the pump (as in trainer, not bike pump ), the ruler across your knuckles, the wooden blackboard duster or chalk thrown at you at 90mph.

It was just accepted back then and never challenged, you wouldn't get parents coming up the school unless they were summoned by the Education Committee. You'd keep it from them if anything as being punished generally meant you'd done something wrong and if some parents of some kids fopund out they'd probably give them some further firm measures. You wouldn't dare bring shame to the front door - oh how it's all changed with 'knowledge'. Sometimes it was better living in the dark ages.
