re: Paddled in School

Had a school bus driver around 3rd-5th grade (early 80s) who kept a small baseball bat handy. If you were acting up and within reach, your shin or knee was in danger. If out of reach, the next time he stopped the bus he'd get up and go to the back. Good times. Guy had a beard but no mustache. Baw for sure.
The last day of school in the 8th grade we were on the bus headed home when a Cobb County police car pulled up behind the bus. 2 of the boys on the back of the bus thought it'd be funny to pretend they were fighting. The cops pulled the bus over, came on the bus with pistols drawn, handcuffed them and hauled them off to jail. It wasn't funny at all....

15 paddlings in my 12 year school career.
All it took was one paddling from Coach Lee at Southeast Jr. High and I stayed clear of any punishable behavior. One smack took my breath away.

In hindsight, it was pretty effective at making us self-police.
It didn't work at all in the 1970s. They'd paddle you, whip you, all manner of ill shite. Often times it involved you dropping your pants. All it did was make us lose ALL respect for adults who had less ability to contain their anger and resort to violence than us. It also lead to a BUNCH of fist fights....someone would get paddled, we'd make fun of them and of course they were already pissed off for being violently attacked and would react in a similar fashion that the adults in charge displayed when they were pissed.
the fact that they would do it, at times, with your pants around your ankles has to have been sexual in nature at least on occasion. Anyone who is smacking a child's near naked arse ought not be allowed to be within a mile of a child....I don't care if it is 1970 or 2026 that is a sick fricker....

Corporal punishment only works when used rarely and judiciously. I was born in 1965 and it was the go to punishment for adults to keep kids in line until I was an adult myself....and after about the age of 6 or so it had happened so often that it had NO effect other than a complete disregard for the wishes of adults. My dad, being pretty damned smart, realized this and stopped spanking me when I was about 8 or so....because it only pissed me off and caused him to get pissed off. The only lesson that one could possibly take away from it is that when one is in power they can resort to violence to get their way....it is a failure on the part of the adult to teach a kid anything other than it is indeed possible to get your way, for a short period of time, by the use of violence. Why so many otherwise seemingly sane adults who grew up with routine violence from the adults in their lives reminisce about it as if it was a heart warming experience is truly strange. It wasn't....it instilled fear, resentment and disrespect.

Yet those same weak minded parents wonder why their “perfect” child is usually a frick up for life. Retarded lawyers and lawsuits are the real reason the U.S. is going to shite.
Amazing how something that was effective more than not was stopped by weak parents.
And yes, I got paddled a few times and then got it at home. I learned pretty quickly to not do stupid shite at school.
Society today is so weak.
Not teaching kids that violence is bad idea is weak? Violence is weakness, not a strength. Corporal punishment is a failing on the part of the adult, not the kid...it is a quick and lazy way to deal with a child who is misbehaving and quickly loses what little effectiveness it has. If it is only used rarely and judiciously it can and does work but most adults who use it do so far to often and regularly. About 90% of people in prison today were physically abused by adults when they were kids. It is not an effective tool unless the goal is to teach a kid they can get their way if they are violent enough...

Mr. Freiler
Principal at West University Elementary. Late seventies, early eighties.
He paddled me once. Three strikes. It was close to the beginning of the year. I didn't act out again for the rest of that year.
The female teachers would smack your knuckles with a ruler if you were caught passing notes or being stupid. You straightened up quick after a few smacks.

Lol, you are a retarded pussy. Don’t like it tough. What worked for thousands of years is all of a sudden frowned upon by weak people like you. When I got paddled or whipped, I never did the thing I got punished for again. Now, is it a one size fits all solution, probably not but since corporal punishment has been taken away the incidents of dumbassery has increased along with pussy litigious parents (look in the mirror if you want to know what one looks like) being petrified to discipline their kids.

Yes, many incarcerated individuals were abused and probably just as many were not disciplined.

Had a coach. Junior high. frick THAT GUY. He swung as hard as he could. You could see it in his face. He never got me. But even at 12-13 years old I knew what a whoppin was and what a sick frick looked like when he liked beating kids.
