In today's schools the teachers simply call the cop and the cop beats the crap out of the disruptive student. In the end the bad student ends up in more trouble than if would have under the old system of getting a whack or two on his butt.
When I went to school the classes were all well behaved and quiet where the teacher was the only one talking. If and when someone was out of control the teacher called the principle on the innercom and he came with a really big wooden paddle and took the offender outside. Then everyone could hear the SMACK... SMACK... SMACK... and a minute or two later the kid would come back in redfaced and crying. Or better yet the teacher would be going on, and out of the blue we hear a muffled Smack... Smack... Smack.. and she would pause till it was over, which woke everyone back up. You could always tell when it was the principle "Mr. Maple" who paddled or the assistent principle "Mrs. Penzol" Maple would get a yelp after each one and you'd always hear crying afterwords and mrs penzol would just make you cry.
Then in high school it was a free for all. (no paddling) teachers had to yell over other unrully kids or they just gave up completely.
whether the hippies like it or not paddling got results.
