I have read the hand over the heart came about because the original “Bellamy Salute” that accompanied the pledge fell out because of WW2.
@TerryP based on my political beliefs this will come as shock to you, but when I was in 5th grade I got 3 days out of school suspension because I wouldn’t stand for the pledge because as I told the teacher I thought it was stupid, so she sent me to the office, the assistant principal was the disciplinarian and I got the strap to my hands and suspended
Switch, branch, belt, paddle ... but never a strap to the hands.
It sounds like you needed a George Costanza, hand model, as a friend. He'd stopped that.
Prior to moving to my uncle’s when I was 6 I got the switch, belt, paddle, cords, but that leather strap to my hands by the assistant principal hurt like a bastard!!
I definitely needed something
Reminds me ...
When I was a kid fashion went through the "wide, white belt" phase. I had one. Three holed belt, right, with three prongs.
My mom tore my ass up one day with that belt. The first time she'd ever used it...and the last time. As much as I liked wearing the belt it was in the middle of a corn field that afternoon.
Funny, now that I think about that...she never asked where it went: probably glad not to see the damn thing.
Were they trying to tell you to measure up?
That could have been. But it was three pop across my thigh.
Bring back the paddle. 
Kids today have no idea what the sound of a paddle sounds like ringing down the hallways of a school. I can certainly say that I had a few back in the day.

My high school principle drilled holes in one...you could hear it whistle.Bring back the paddle.
250lb, 6'3" kind of guy...black military glasses with a Marine haircut to boot. A bully.
In my case, I don't think that's the case. I was a smart ass. (Imagine that.) They didn't "address" what I thought. I look back and think they thought they'd beat it out of me: questioning their belief systems.
No
I was more mischievous than anything else, and a little bit girl crazy!!!!
I got busted in the second grade charging kids $$$ to watch me kissing (my girl friend). We made some good money!!!!!!
That paddling was well worth it!!!

Berachah Complex Master Plan
The Berachah Academy campus sits off Sparkman Drive, just east of the intersection with Pulaski Pike. It currently houses a community gymnasium and a well-loved but decidedly small library branch. Recognizing the need for a new library, the surrounding community was engaged in a planning process...

Beaten with whatever was handy at times. Belts and monstrous switches made up the bulk.
