When I was in elementary school in the 70s in rural Virginia the teachers would hit you with rulers all the time. The principal had a paddle that resembled a cricket bat that he used.
I don’t know if schools allow corporal punishment still.
My principal had that, too! He kept it hanging on the wall in his office, and students could see it when we walked by. It scared me, but I never saw or heard of him using it on anyone.

Yeah mine kept it hanging on his wall as well and he would walk around with it sometimes when the buses were leaving.
I am sure he did all that as a deterrent to prevent bad behavior.
