[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Southern bumpkin" again- this kid and her parents need to be glad calling the police was all that happened. When I was kid growing up where she lives, schools still practiced corporal punishment. [b]Principal had a paddle hanging in his office.[/b] Set her back 20 some years, she could have gotten the beating of her life in response to this behavior. [/quote]

Do you know if it was actually used? I thought it was a common small school administrator room decoration...

Oh, it was used. Are you kidding? My husband was taken up to the principal's office once as a 14 year old in the early 80s and the principal said, "Now, T, I'm going to have to use this paddle on you." My husband's parents were pretty influential in their small town and knew the principal personally. My husband looked him in the face and said "Reggie, you will NOT be using that paddle on me or my mother will rain hell down upon you." So he didn't get the paddle that day. That was absolutely not a "decoration" and when I said she'd have gotten the beating of her life  had she gone to that same school 20+ years ago I wasn't trying to be disgusting or saying she needed a beating- I was being dead serious. I know of schools up into the 1990s that had paddles in the principals offices. [/quote]
