Although I remember my father in law telling me stories of going to Catholic school during the 1940's-where the priests (who were the teachers)would physically hit the students.
I attended Catholic schools in the 50's where the nuns paddled you for misbehaving on the playground with the PA system turned on as a warning to others. We called them the public floggings.
