From my generation at least (teenagers from the 90's), I heard stories not of beatings, but getting whacked on the knuckles by nuns in private catholic schools.

The private catholic schools in my town being a mix of kids with religious parents, bad kids who got kicked out of public high schools and parents who didn't want a co-ed education for their kids.
