Many Indian schools are stricter than schools in the U.S:-
1. Students here have to wear uniforms
The school uniform clothing, shoes, belt, and girls have their hair tied up with a ribbon. There will be punishment for not wearing any of it.
2. For talking in Tamil
The students have to talk in English inside the school campus even if there are grammar mistakes. The students who talks in Tamil would be punished.
3. For not cutting nails or hair.
4. Also, for not doing home works or other study-related.
The punishment is usually beating on the hands with a stick, rarely on the butt.
