It has a hardening effect on a person's spirit. I think that alot of "old" generation teachers were mean because they themselves had been beaten in school.Rakovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104421349211889742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093759595584573218.post-31293847915892453772017-05-22T20:05:43.835-07:002017-05-22T20:05:43.835-07:00Jim Bob, it is not too difficult to reason out tha...Jim Bob, it is not too difficult to reason out that it most likely is because that assistant principal did not personally approve of the otherwise set-in-stone policy that 'both' fighters were to be paddled, regardless that he believed you when you said that you were the 'victim' rather than the 'aggressor'.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03842031365331204878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093759595584573218.post-40406724596946269662016-10-16T22:19:01.727-07:002016-10-16T22:19:01.727-07:00I was sent to the principal's office for a pad...I was sent to the principal's office for a paddling one time, about 1966. The assistant principal was the paddler.<br />I was there with the other kid, the one who had tried to beat me in the hallway after class. He got three licks. Didn't make a sound.<br />The paddler then told me that I was getting three licks. I said, "No, I'm not. You're not going to hit me with that thing. You're not going to touch me."<br />The assistant principal looked surprised. Perhaps no one had spoken to him like that? He then said that if I wouldn't take the licks, I would have to stay after school three days (an hour each afternoon).<br />I said, "No, I won't, either. If I miss my bus I'll have to walk three miles on the highway to get home."<br />He let it go with telling me that I had to stay after school whether I had to walk or not. <br />I rode the bus home and returned in my car. As the bus took 45 minutes and my drive back 15, I was an hour getting back. Since the detention started 15 minutes after school let out, I missed all but 15 minutes of the detention.<br />He commented that I was late.<br />I responded that I didn't care, that I had told him the day before that I wasn't going to walk home.<br />I didn't show up for the last two days. Nothing came of it.<br />I'm not sure why he didn't do anything when I refused to take a paddling. Perhaps hitting a student without parent's or the student's permission wasn't allowed?<br />Jim Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17490443483107948147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093759595584573218.post-59613501963170982002016-04-21T20:18:29.562-07:002016-04-21T20:18:29.562-07:00that reminds me of my high school days back in lat...that reminds me of my high school days back in late 1970s paddling was allowed in california public schools,male vice principals paddled boys and girls back then ,unlike todays same sex rule in most states.We had a fat old never married perv vp named mr meyers ,he paddled girls more then boys it seemed.<br />i was office assistant in 11 th grade ,my main duties were collecting slips from teachers and copying tests,handouts etc ,that xerox machine room was right next to mr meyers office.<br />when i saw a girl sitting in chair outside his officei only listened to girls paddlings) ,i knew she was there to be paddled,so id go into the copy machine room and close door behind me,and put my ear to the wall.<br />mr meyer would call girl into his office ,then the secretary to be witness ,so no one was in office area to notice me.<br />mr meyer would tell the girl to go to the small chair(like size of 1st graders chair) against the wall and bend over grab onto the legs tightly.mr meyer grabbed his huge thick paddle,and walked over the the bent over student ,gave final instructions to the student ,stare at dot on floor ,dont look back or get up until i say its over,then hed say you are getting 6 to 12 swats ,to remind you to follow the rules.mr meyer was 6 foot 4 and 275 lbs ,nd swung the paddle like babe ruth.<br />then id hear the first swat ,a surprised yelp,then swat 2 a louder moan ,by swat 3 most girls began crying,swat 4,5,6 and up brought howling from most girls even seniors Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646244340953722061noreply@blogger.com
