[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are these people talking about spanking and corporal punishment in schools?  I’m 58 and grew up in a rural area and teachers weren’t allowed to do this even then.[/quote]

I'm 42, and at my public elementary school in downstate IL in 1990, there was a paddle hanging at the front of the room. The first time it was used on a student by our teacher, I came home and told my mom and she pulled me from that school the next day.

At another elementary school in the same district, paddling was allowed, but it was only allowed for the principal, in the principal's office. Not regular classroom teachers.[/quote]

She pulled you from public school, and….what, you never returned to that school and she enrolled you in a private school where you continued through 12th grade, because one kid got spanked in third or fourth grade with a paddle that was presumably visible on back to school night, and in accordance with a discipline policy that was public information and widely available to the parents?[/quote]
