“Resident Lana Simmons says her children love it. She says it’s something they look forward to.”

Hmmm.

In the letter, Williams explains that students are called to the office on their birthday and given the option of a spanking, a hug, or a high five. She writes “In eight years at Alvord Elementary I’ve only had five or less students request something other than a birthday swat.”

Sounds like a nothing burger.

Not enough information in the story.

I’d like to think this was something along the line of “20 lashes with a wet noodle.”

But I can’t answer that question from the story.

In a town with a total population of less than 1,400?

When my wife was a high school student in the 70s, the Principal (a guy) liked to snap the girls’ bra straps in the back. He did it to her, and it came loose.

She was too embarrased to say anything. She only confided to me, years later.

Birthday spankings were commonplace when I was a kid in Oregon. A swat for each year. A boy or girl just turned eight would get eight swats, plus “...and one to grow an inch!”

They were normally administered by Daddy or Grandma, though, not the principle.
