>When I was going to school, Corporal Punishment was >widely used. But they also could make you take >detention or suspend you. At the start of the year, >each year, a form was sent home for your parent to >check and sign regarding Corporal Punishment. You >would have to select, "I give permission for my child >to receive Corporal Punishment at school" or "I do not >give permission for my child to receive Corporal >Punishment at school." If you checked you did not give >permission then the child received detention or >suspension depending on what they had done. If the >form was not returned, then it was "assumed" that you >were allowing the school to use Corporal Punishment on >the child. Each year my parents checked to allow. > >I managed to get spanked at school at least once per >year, sometimes more. From First Grade through >Seventh. Some were by hand other's by paddle and I >remember getting at least one with a yardstick. Just >about anytime I got in trouble at school whether I was >spanked or not, Momma spanked my bare butt at home. >The paddling I got in Seventh Grade from the Assistant >Principal was the last time I was paddled and was left >badly bruised. After that, my mother submitted new >forms checking that she would not allow us to receive >Corporal Punishment at school. I managed to get a few >detentions over the rest of my school career, which >were followed by a spanking at home. She did threaten >to let the school paddle me one time after she made >that decision. We had a "Tradition" in High School >called "Senior Skip Day" where Seniors would skip >school on a specific day. It was NOT sanctioned by the >school. The Principal announced the day before that >day, that "Senior Skip Day is not Sanctioned by the >School and any student participating will be counted >as "Unexcused". Any Student violating this rule, will >be paddled on the next school day. There were >provisions made for the usual reasons for absence such >as illness but it had to be called in by a parent or >guardian and a note had to be sent with you the next >day. Also, things such as death in the family and so >forth were excused. Plus students whose parents >checked they would not be spanked at school would >receive a five day detention and would not be >permitted to participate in any school events for that >five days, including games, dances. etc... They were >pretty serious about attendance. I talked to Momma >about it before the skip day and she told me, "Well >Little Girl, I'm not going to tell you, you can't >participate. But I signed the note saying they can't >paddle you anymore when you were in Seventh Grade. But >if you decide to participate skip day, I'm going to >send them a note when you go back to school giving >them permission to paddle you. Then I'm going to spank >your bare behind when you get home. So the decision is >yours. I chose to stay in school that day. >Fifty-seven students got called to the Auditorium the >next day and all got three licks each. A couple of my >friends participated and I saw them between first and >second period red eyed and still sniffling. They >called me a chicken before the skip day when I told >them I wasn't doing it. But after they got paddled, >they told me they wished they hadn't skipped. > >I still live in that same School District and my kids >attend the same schools I went to. They abolished >Corporal Punishment about fifteen years ago, which was >two years before my oldest was born. Now they council >students, or use, detention, Saturday School or >Suspension. But just like my Momma, if my kids get in >trouble at school, they usually get spanked at home.
