The last time I was paddled in school I had told this girl in my class that her living bra died of starvation. She started crying and I found myself in the principles office.
He asked me what I had said to the girl and I told him. He started cracking up laughing. When he stopped laughing he asked me where I heard that from. I told him last night on the Carol Burnett show.
He paddled me hard. I never said that to a girl again.
Funny...I don’t have kids, I only have my own experiences to draw on, so...it would be hard for me to say how I would react if my kid was paddled.
I think another poster brought up a good point, that...who wants one of these liberal weenies deciding if my kid gets a whack or not? Hell, they would whack the kid for voicing opposition to some liberal dogma, failing to say they think BLM is a good thing, or even if they insist on standing for the Pledge of Allegiance!
I will say, like you...a whack on the butt didn’t do me any short or long term harm, and it made me less likely to be disruptive in class and more likely to follow the instructions of the teacher. (In your case, it made you think twice in the future about making comments about some poor girl’s undergarments!)
