This answer is on the presumption that the question refers to English grammar schools of the medieval/Tudor/Elizabethan period, where boys were required to converse in Latin, and were punished for speaking English. Such punishment would invariably take the form of birching (i.e. flogging with the birch) administered to the errant pupils bare buttocks.
