Yes. Back in the day when paddling was allowed in school — we not only suffered the paddle, but when we got home, we got another spanking. A couple of days of not being able to sit down effectively cured any and all bad behavior.
I say, once paddling was outlawed, spanking was deemed child abuse, and prayer was taken out of schools — that’s when our youth went all to hell.
When I was about 6 years old, my mother and I were in the commissary in Nurnberg Germany when I decided to act an ass. My mother reached over to a young soldier and undid and whipped off his belt and proceeded to beat my ass in the store. When she was finished, she turned to the soldier to return his belt. He replied “no ma’am, you keep it!! I don’t want any of that!!” Needless to say that was the first and LAST time I acted up in the store!!!
Once is usually enough!
