>First, I want to say, I think that the Principal was a >good man. He loved his job and I believe he loved his >students. He was getting up in years though and I >think that's the main reason why he allowed the >Assistant Principal do the paddling. > >Now, I can't say I don't agree with what you are >saying about the Assistant Principal or that the >School got of easy. and I was there when Momma had her >"Come to Jesus Meeting" with the Principal, Assistant >Principal and the Secretary who held me down for the >paddling. She brought up not only the potential of a >law suit but criminal charges as well. The Principal >swore to Momma that appropriate action would be taken >to ensure it never happened again. He personally >excused my absence from school that day and the rest >of the week. So the time I was out of school wasn't >held against me. He wasn't in a position where he >could actually fire the Assistant Principal but he >personally took Momma's complaints to the School Board >and they removed the AP from his position. He wasn't >fired, but he was put in a position where he didn't >have authority over the students and only limited >contact. Then a few months later at the end of the >School, his Contract was Not Renewed and the next >School year we had a new Assistant. The Secretary was >formally reprimanded for her part in this. She was >told if she were to be asked to witness a paddling, >it's one thing, but she has NO business putting her >hands on a student, much less restraining one while he >or she is being paddled. It turned out I wasn't the >only girl she held down while the Assistant paddled a >girl. He told her, "I can't fire Mr. A....... because >his position is Certified, so the School Board would >have to terminate him if they so choose. But Ma'am, >your position is classified and I have the full >authority to fire you. If you ever put your hands on >one of my students again, I will personally put you >out the door. Do you understand? She said, "Yes Mr. >W.... Then he made her apologize to both Momma and me. >Then he told Mr. A..... "Sir, I can't fire you but I >can forbid you from using Corporal Punishment on the >students until the School Board decides what they are >going to do with you and I will be contacting them as >soon as this meeting is over." Then Mr. W.... stood >up and apologized to me and to Momma and said, "If >there is anything you need, come see me personally. >They wanted to try to keep this from becoming a town >scandal, so they were very willing to work with us to >resolve it. The School Board called Momma and Daddy >and talked to them via Conference call and told them >what action was going to be taken. They also offered >compensation for damages, medical bills and so forth. >Momma said, "My husband and I have discussed it and >since the people directly involved are being delt >with, we aren't going to sue. But, I want to remove my >permission for my children to be spanked at school, >immediately. If one of my children does something >wrong at School, give them a detention or whatever and >I'll spank them at home. But I don't want anybody >putting their hands or a paddle on one of my kids >again. They fully cooperated. So that was the last >time I was ever paddled at school. > >Momma did threaten to change her mind in my Senior >Year. We had an unofficial tradition called Senior >Skip Day. One day during the School Year, Seniors >would skip school. It was not allowed by the School. >Our Skip Day was "scheduled" to be three days after my >birthday. A couple of friends tried to talk Ramona and >Me into skipping and going to hang out at the lake >that day. I knew I wouldn't get paddled, (at least not >at school) for it but Ramona would, so she said no >right off the bat. I told the girls I didn't think >so, and they called us "Chickens" and went off to try >to convince other girls to join them. The day before >Skip Day, the Principal made an announcement during >Home Room. "Attention Students, It's come to our >attention that tomorrow is going to be a "Senior Skip >Day". This is not a School Sanctioned Function. Any >students who participate in this unauthorized >activity, will get an unexcused absence and three >licks. So if you don't have a doctor's excuse or your >parents don't call in your absence and send in a note >to explain your absence, you will be paddled by myself >or the Assistant Principal during first period." Then >went on to say, "Any students on the "no paddle list" >who participate will be given a one week detention and >EC Suspension for that week. So if you make the choice >to skip tomorrow, be ready to accept the consequences. > There were too many activities I wanted to be >involved in, so I didn't want to take a chance with >this. But I asked Momma about it after school. I told >her. "Momma, tomorrow is Senior Skip Day." I went on >to tell her that it wasn't sanctioned and what would >happen to anybody who participated. Then I asked, >"What would you do if I decided to participate >tomorrow Momma?" She looked at me and said, ":Little >Girl, You know that I removed the permission for you >to be spanked at school, but I'm gonna tell you right >now. If you skip school tomorrow, I will personally >call the Principal and give him permission to blister >your little butt. Then when you get home I'll take the >hairbrush and blister your bare butt till you can't >sit for a week. Then I will give them permission to >paddle you at school for the rest of the year. Any >questions?" I quickly spoke up and said, "Momma, I'm >not planning on skipping tomorrow, I just wanted to >know what would happen." She looked at me skeptically >for a moment, Then she hugged me and gave me a smack >on the butt. > >The next morning after I got up, I walked into the >kitchen still in a Tee-Shirt and panties with a >thermometer in my mouth and said, "Momma I'm feeling >sick today, can I stay home from School?" Momma looked >at me and said, "Oh no little girl, you are not >pulling that crap on me, I'll wear you out right now." >I started laughing and said, "Momma No I was just >kidding, I swear." She said, "You little brat, grabbed >my arm and gave me a HARD smack on my partially >exposed butt. Which made me yell, "OW MOMMA THAT >HURT!" While I laughed. She smiled and said, "I meant >for it to." Then she hugged me and gave me another >smack on the butt but not quite as hard and said, now >go get ready for school." When I got back to my room, >I pulled my panties down and she left a pretty nice >handprint on my right butt cheek. > >So when we were at school just before lunchtime. The >Principal got on the intercom and said, "I need all >Seniors in attendance today, to report to gym." >Everybody was confused. As we walked in, there was >music and lights going and tables set up on the gym >floor. We were told to take seats at the tables. When >all he Seniors got in, He picked up the Microphone and >said, "We had fifty-seven of your classmates who >decided to skip school today and they will face the >consequences of their actions tomorrow or the next >School day they are here. On the other hand, while >they will be punished for their actions. You young >adults on the other hand, made the choice to be here >today and We feel you should be rewarded for your good >choices. So in appreciation for your good choices, we >have decided to throw you a Pizza Party today for the >rest of the School Day." I was totally shocked. Not >one of us expected anything like this. To make it >better it wasn't the "school pizza" They had ORDERED >pizza to be delivered for over two hundred students! >On top of that, they HIRED a DJ! After the Pizza had >been served. the Principal made announced that anybody >who wanted to leave instead of staying for the dance, >could sign out and it wouldn't be held against time. >Ramona, Jeff, Mark and I all stayed till the end and >even helped clean up. > >The next day, during Homeroom all fifty-seven students >who skipped were called to the Auditorium. After >getting chewed out, they had to form two lines and >were called up on stage where they got three licks >either from the Principal or Assistant. I saw the >girls that tried to get me to skip in the restroom. It >looked like both had been crying. They told me they >wished they hadn't skipped.
