I know that some of the female teachers who did not usually use c.p would always use it to the max if they caught any girl in a classroom unsupervised.
Some of my class mates were even slippered by a young teacher who did not even smack in class after being caught in the building during recess. I am pretty sure that rule even applied to prefects, but maybe they were just given a warning.
