I have seen boys grabbed and slapped about the arms, head and shoulders if they were not in a position to be bent over easily or refused.
Girls would be treated less violently but with more ceremony. Most would meekly allow themselves to be smacked or rulered. If they didn’t they were held by wrists or waist.They were hit just as hard though!
These were frightening daily occurrences at my junior school 59/63.
Although the head had a cane, I never saw it and don’t remember anyone getting it. It was given in private and would not have been talked about.
