“Corporal Punishment,” what a lovely, soft language term to legitimize literally terrorizing children through violence.

    I wonder if we were in one of the four districts that have banned it. I genuinely never saw that form or even heard a whisper about paddling.

      Maybe. I was in a really small town, but it was a good district that was fairly liberal, all things considered. We always used to joke about what would warrant it, since we were all aware it was a possibility. The form could have been a deterrent tactic, I suppose.
