No whackings at our school, thank goodness.
However, my dear old Dad, bless his little cotton socks, once used one of my rubber-soled plimsolls on my bot because I'd been suspended for a week for stealing. Wow - did it sting !! Still, I deserved it so no complaints and twenty years on we laugh about it once in a while. I never, ever stole again but I suppose I'd have grown out of it even without getting my bum roasted.
