It was the same with George the Slipper for us at school. It was rarely wielded by the fearsome Mr Delaney but the fear of a 15st man thrashing your bare backside to ribbons with a plimsoll kept most of us in check.
These days, even the threat would be grounds for dismissal. The parents are largely to blame for seriously disruptive children and if we didn't live in such a letigious society the system might have more power to control it.
