      Thin, supple branches from a tree or large bush. Often, part of the punishment is having to go out and pick your own switch, and getting extra hits of you pick one that’s not good for hitting with. Otherwise, they just have one on hand that’s specifically for punishment.

          Corporal punishment might have made sense in a preindustrial society, where most people were physically tougher (by necessity), and societal relationships tended to be much more personal in nature. It makes absolutely no sense for a modern, industrialized nation like the United States.
