as a kid I had Elizabeth Seton nuns ( i think sisters of charity) they were all from southern pennsylvania. If you were bad they would jab you in the chest with a finger, hard. I mean a third grader getting this 35 year old finger jabbed in your chest with full force. hurt like hell, we used to call it 'getting the pennsylvania finger'

In the 8th grade, there was a nun who just couldn't stand one of the kids and used to bloody his nose all the time - for things such as his shirt wasn't tucked in. He would go home with his shirt all bloody and the parents didn't do anything about it. He went on to a high school taught by Jesuits and became the student body president of the university he attended. After that he became the city manager of a large city in CA, a job he's kept through several changes in the mayor's office. Moral of the story - a good whack upside the head does a kid some good on occasion.
