Notes on forum pic: from page 118 of a booklet, published in 1993, for instructors in a program called Accelerated Christian Education (ACE). The rest of the page (1259 x 1603 pixels) gives what appear to be fairly sensible recommendations on how to give a spanking in school, with "a flat, thin paddle". The instructions recommend that the child's feet should be spread for the spanking, not together as seen in the pic. Some people who attended ACE schools describe being spanked over their underwear, not over their ordinary clothing. They also mentioned that getting swats at school meant getting another spanking at home as well. The 2010 version of the same booklet says "Corporal discipline should never be used in school", but some ACE schools in the USA still require parents to sign an agreement for the school to use corporal punishment on their children.
