Date Posted: 05:44:19 05/15/26 Fri In reply to: Laura 's message, "Do you support corporal punishment in the schools?" on 14:33:00 05/14/26 Thu Spanking in school was commonplace when I was a child. It seemed You could see or hear anything from a single smack on the butt to a full on paddling and I had my fair share. I got spanked/paddled at least once every year from first through seventh grades. At the beginning of each school year a packet was sent home with each kid which included a "booklet" on the rules and regulations of the school explaining the infractions and consequences. Corporal Punishment could be used for every infraction with the exceptions of those that would lead to expulsion. There was also alternative punishments such as writing lines, detention, Saturday School, ECS (extra-curricular suspension) which sometimes went along with detention depending on what you did. The booklet came with a permission slip that needed to be checked, signed and returned. It gave parents the choice to either allow corporal punishment or to not allow it. Then at the bottom of the permission slip was a statement that failure to return the slip be would be taken as the parents giving approval. My parents signed it every year until I was in seventh grade when they removed permission. There were no particular rules for spanking or paddling students. It could be done right in front of class or out in the hall. It could be by paddle, hand, ruler or whatever the choice of the one doing the spanking wanted to do. There was one rule they did have pertaining to girls getting spanked and that was if it was carried out by a male, there had to be a female witness. But that wasn't strictly enforced until Jr. High (grades seven though nine). If you were a girl being paddled by a female teacher, a witness was not required. A male witness was not required for boys getting spanked regardless if it was a man or woman doing the paddling. State of dress for spankings was pretty lax too. I saw girls and a few boys get spanked in their underwear in front of the class and there were times students got paddled bare bottom, but that was usually in Gym Class by one of the coaches. So, being the outgoing, chatty and sometimes hotheaded or stubborn girl I was, I found myself getting in trouble at school at least once or twice a year, sometimes more and when you got in trouble, your parents received a form from the teacher or principal explaining why you got in trouble and how it was handled. Bringing that note home from school, usually meant getting my bare butt spanked at home whether I got paddled, detention or whatever. As I mentioned that all changed in seventh grade for us. I ended up getting paddled five times that year. All deserved by the way. I got paddled once by my History Teacher (three licks) for backtalk, Once by my English Teacher (five licks) for helping my best friend cheat on a test. Twice by the Girl's Gym Coach (two licks over my shorts the first time for not dressing out and three licks in my gym suit with it riding up leaving my butt half exposed for fighting in class) and my last ever paddling was by the Assistant Principal for skipping class and leaving school grounds without permission. He gave me three licks. I was wearing a short skirt (too short it seems) and he had me lay over his desk with my feet still on the floor. Which left my butt more than half bare with both my skirt and panties riding up. He had the Secretary hold my hands down while he paddled me and he hit me full force with the paddle which had holes drilled in it the length of the blade. All three licks hit bare skin. The first lick I wanted to scream and couldn't catch my breath, the second I found my voice and screamed bloody murder and after the third lick I fell to the floor when the Secretary let go of my wrists. My butt was almost black from the bruising, swollen and covered in blood blisters. I was out of School for almost a week because I couldn't sit period. I even had to have Momma help hold me up when I went to the toilet because I couldn't sit. I had ice packs on my butt for a few days after and she would come in to lance the blisters and put antiseptic on them to keep them from getting infected. Momma had a come to Jesus meeting with the Principal, Assistant Principal and Secretary. There had been rumors about the AP paddling too hard but this was the first time it was reported to the Principal. The Principal was horrified when he saw how badly I was injured. He took away the AP's right to paddle students and then had him removed from that position and placed in another where there was only limited contact with the students. Then at the end of the year his contract expired and was not renewed. The Secretary was also penalized for her part in this and not reporting the AP for abuse. She was suspended without pay for several weeks. Also her contract was allowed to expire. My Momma removed the permission for us to be Paddled at School. Two years before my son was born the School Board voted to remove Corporal Punishment as an option at the Schools in our district. Which made me happy. So my kids never got paddled or spanked at School. When School started this year, we had a new Superintendent who is a hardcore right winger. The first thing he wanted to do was "reestablish discipline" in the School System by bringing back the paddle. There were a series of School Board meetings which included public forums where parents could share their opinions. I spoke at the first one and told the story about the paddling I got from the Assistant Principal and how badly I was injured by him. I spoke individually to four of the five one of which was a girl I went to school with who got her bare bottom paddled by the Girl's Gym Coach in high school, which I happened to overhear because I was in the Coach's Office waiting to talk to her about taking a make up test in Health Class. She paddled her and another girl both for fighting in the locker room. All they had on at the time were their towels and she gave them both three hard licks on their bare bottoms. The board voted against bringing back Corporal Punishment five to zero. If they had voted for it, I would have signed the slips to not allow my kids to be paddled at School and if that weren't an option, I would have pulled them out and homeschooled. I spank my kids sometimes but I don't beat them and I don't want to let anyone else beat them black and blue because they can. Plus you have those individuals who get off on spanking and hurting kids and no matter how careful you are vetting your staff, they still manage to get into the system whether they are teachers or administrators. So no, While I have no issues with spanking my kids or allowing someone I trust to do it. I don't want them getting spanked by people I don't know or barely know.
