In English and American schools the canvas and rubber-soled shoes used for gym, you can call it sneakers, gym shoes or plimsoll, or even slippers (no matter whether it was an actual slipper or not) were used for punishing pupils on the buttocks. It is the favorite of physical education teachers. Also, other common kitchen implements were used, like wooden spatulas, breadboards or cutting boards, flyswatters, another favorite, the 12-inch ruler, and more recently, the ping pong paddle. The wicker carpet beater was used mostly in Southern Europe (battipani in Italy pala de sacudir alfombras in Spain and tapi-tapis in France). As it is fairly long, was used with the child bending over furniture or holding their ankles.
