Were you ever paddled in school?

[DISNEYSQUIRRELS]

Emotionally "paddled" by my 4th grade teacher. Public school.
She was very cruel.

Why resurrect a zombie 10 year old thread?? Especially this one!

Why not?

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

ooooo a zombie thread.

6 out of 10 zombies said paddled kids had more flavorful brains.
3 out of 10 zombies said unpaddled kids were easier to catch.
One zombie with a big club asked us if we were paddled.
We decided to leave but were cut off. Just then much to our surprise, somebody hiding paddled his kid and the crying distracted them. We made our get away knowing paddling attracts zombies.

Yes, several times. In the first grade for pulling up girls dress. In the fifth grade for leaving a suggestive note on the teachers desk. In the eight grade for talking and in the 9th by a coach for talking.

I get that this is a zombie thread.

When I was in elementary school I looked over the school information packet. This was my first year at a public elementary school and I noticed they had information on corporal punishment. It required specific infractions, described the paddle's size, weight, and dimensions, and that it had to be done based on a parent's specific permission on file to administer corporal punishment. I never heard of it happening. At that point I doubt any teacher or administrator would have approved it. At this point it's not allowed in my state.

Even in Catholic school I don't remember any case of that happening. The whole idea of a nun with a ruler was a foreign concept to us. They could be stern at times, but for the most they were the nicest, most generous people I'd ever known in my life.

Not me, but my brother did! And he deserved it He also got another one when he got home! That's the way it was back then. It made you think twice about misbehaving again!
My daughter works in a high school office, and all the disciplinary kids get sent there for punishment. They get a noon detention. What a joke. All their friends are in there so they visit. They can listen to any kind of music they want, including bad rap. There is a counselor there if any of them feel "bad" about having detention. No lie! That is such a joke. And guess what? These same ones are in detention alot and just laugh at authority. They know no one will do anything.

I was caned many times throughout my school years. The nuns in the convent school I attended between the age of 3 and 6 were the most vicious. Girls were caned on an open palm, or the back of the thighs, boys were similarly caned or belted on a bare bottom. It was a common punishment for quite minor infringements. My DD teaches at a boarding school and tells me that nowadays the punishment the children most fear is the confiscation of their mobile telephones.

Joshua Tree.. California, the school sat atop a ridged that looked south over the valley of the flashflood channel, the Joshua Tree turtle races grounds, room #8 , long before it became room #8, and the footshill of the Joshua tree National Monument. One building school, five rooms, or was it 4, 1st and 2nd grade split the day. 3rd grade, all day, so more boredom to conquer and nothing like giving the 5th graders at recess a bad time as they played kickball. In my 3rd grade gang were siblings of the the 5th graders...so it made it all the harder to to ignorei the 5th graders......guys around me began to throw pebbles at the 5th graders and I got fingered, innocent I was, were all called out of the classroom, lined up on the long sidewalk, our hands on the warm concrete building. I was crying. I cry easy, even today, in my bill liambeer body, ( I also have the baskeball attitude also) I cry watching Polar Express. Not sure if I remember the paddling because of my innocence or fear when I got home....small town, word spreads fast.

I guess it only took once to throw rocks thru the backstop at perfect strangers....well....not really....had BBQ with some of them and they were on my baseball team.

Many times, all in 7th grade at C.T. Walker Elementary School in Augusta, Georgia in the 70s. Minor offenses were handled in class by teachers. Major offenses were handled in the Vice Principal’s office.

[WDWEPCOT]

More times than I can count and back in my day one at school meant you were getting one at home too! From kindergarten until 6th grade after that it was detention and spanking at home ! Then grounded for life but that’s a long story for another time !

 

[Moliphino]

At real school, no. When playing school in the basement with my sister, yes. She'd hit me whenever I got anything wrong.

 

[Jimmy Mouse]

Many many times. And no I didn't like it lol

In first grade once for talking in class. Yes just talking at 5 years old. I was one of the younger kids in our grade. She beat me so badly I had bruises from my neck to my knees. My parents complained, as did a ton of other parents. The school did nothing. She ended up being a substitute in my daughter's class years later.
