I was punished (for talking in class) by having to copy definitions onto paper much the same as others up-thread.
To this day, when I am making repetitive notes, I still flash upon those experiences.
Decades later, the lesson stuck with me. But I still talk and write, so I suppose it wasn’t too punitive.
Are schoolchildren still made to write out their crime/sentence on a blackboard _x_ number of times?
Ha-Ha
1948 to 1960, Catholic schools, nuns mostly, had to do it several times. Had to be able to write cursive also. Had to do math without a slide rule. Bawahahaha 
As an instructor in one of the electronics schools in the USCG, I had one student write 100 times “I will never attempt to measure the resistance of an energized circuit again.” But the sentence was to be carried out on paper, not my whiteboard.
I graduated high school in 1985, and every classroom I was ever in had only a blackboard. I don’t remember if I even saw a whiteboard in college, in fact.
