More: Issues Raised Over ‘Birthday Spankings’ At School

Seriously?
More rot in Big City Inner City Schools.
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.
And one to grow on
Pinch to grow an inch.
Sock to grow a block.
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.
I have never understood this “tradition.” Seems pretty creepy to me.
Does she still give them to her husband?
What an idiot.
She better not lay a finger on any of the kids on any occasion.
People in power mistake abuse for comraderie & friendliness. Power is generally a one way. Better to respect boundaries.
My PE teacher did that in elementary school. I was so lucky to have a summer birthday. :D
It’s a PUBLIC SCHOOL. Parents need to suck it up and take what’s given to them for what they pay, which is nothing.
I think it sounds like an innocuous small town tradition that probably some liberal had to ruin. Everybody must be as miserable as they are, or else.
I would rather see the shitheads’ kids removed from the school.
