Yes, I grew up in an era where it was very common for teachers, coaches, and principals to paddle a student who got out of line.

I came close, I beat up a kid who had his parents fill out a "you cannot discipline my child" form. He was spitting on teachers and would tell them that they couldn't do anything cause his mom wouldn't let them.
Technically I got licks for getting in a fight. I actually got free ice cream for a week.
