Paddling kids in high school? For most high school students I know, they'll definitely be able to ignore the pain from something that isn't hard enough to really injure them. I'm not against corporal punishment, but at that age it would just be ineffective.

If you have to paddle kids in HS, it is way too late.

Then again, anyone who sends a kid to a school where the principle cannot expel a kid is a fool.
