Why not six of the best?

 

Oscar Millard, a writer for the Los Angeles Times, calls for the return of corporal punishment to schools. Recalling his own schooldays in England he says. ‘Nobody resented a deserved caning. As a matter of fact, the schoolmaster was regarded as a decent sort if he magnanimously offered to lay on “six of the best” instead of requiring an offender to spend Saturday afternoon in detention memorizing Latin.’
