As I recall the one used on me in my freshman year of high school in a country school was twice as thick twice as broad and nearly twice as long . . . and it had holes in it so it would swing faster and hit harder. The board of education it what they called it . . . it educated me quickly. LOL.

Never experienced that board of education. Just a short locally made horse whip made out of rattan from my dad (God rest his soul).
The proverb says that if you love your child you will whip him when he does wrong so that he won't do worse and get hurt. Bezos the Bozo is probably keeping a list of every purchaser for the Gestapo to come for them claiming "child abuse."
Same here. They called it the "board of education" for us as well.
