The 'board of education' was employed frequently when I was in school. For some, it was indeed humiliating. For others, a badge of honor.
But now her story is out, for all to see.
Isn't that more humiliating, to be national news for helping someone cheat on a test, than taking your lumps?
The plank has no respect for gender, is unmoved by it, and as such, trying to make the wielder of the device out to be some sort of pervert is crap.
Guys had to bend forward at the waste, as did the girls...but the girls also had to pull their skirts tight across their rear, so their petticoats couldn’t overly soften the whack(s). 1957-60, 6th-8th grades.
The paddle was 3/4” varnished plywood, with rows of regularly spaced 1/2” holes drilled in it. It was inscribed, “Pray for fast legs, and a slow teacher!”
“Assume the position” had an entirely different meaning back then/there. *<];-’)
Spare the rod, spoil the child.
Anna Jorgensen told FoxNews.com her daughter initially received two days of in-school suspension for allowing another student to copy her work. When she was offered the chance to take a paddling in lieu of the second day of suspension, she submitted.
Shaw first had the girl call her mother to approve the punishment, which is required. Jorgensen said she agreed, but had no idea the whack would come from a man — or be so severe.
As you can see the problem here is genetic. The mom is as bad as the daughter.
I’m not after money,” she said when asked if she was considering legal action. “I’m after doing what’s right by the students.”
He would give them tips like, bend your elbow and put your shoulder into it.
...for God's sake, she is a 15 year old girl and there are a lot of predator perverts around ESPECIALLY in schools!
They showed the idiot mother and her daughter on the local news. The fruitcake doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Another idiot mother who showed up at the meeting was telling the news that paddling a child was sending a message to men that it was okay to beat women in life.
Quite frankly, the simplest solution would be to expel the little princess for misbehaving. Would give the “mother” some quality time to correct the past 15+ years of raising a spoiled brat.
Looks like it’s time for Democracy to go away. People get the kind of government they deserve.
I didn’t comment on the other threads but in my days at school, if I’d gotten licks from a teacher or the principal, it would have been mild compared to what I would get at home.
