“Spare the handcuffs and spoil the child!”
In my day the Vice Principal had a large paddle on the wall behind his desk, and woe to the one that he took it off the wall for...
Yep, same at my school.
This is ridiculous. Absolutely foolish response by the school and the cop. What would even possess anyone to zip tie a 6 year old, much less arrest and process them? I dont care if the girl threw a tantrum or if she even ‘assaulted’ someone. She is a 6 year old and any respectable adult should be able to ‘handle it’ appropriately. Move her to the principals office and have her parent come to school and get her.
We did not have a “vice principal” in Grade School however we did have Mrs. Ross.
I remember Mrs Ross walking the halls with her paddle. It was one of those paddles that came from a paddle and ball toy. I honestly think the makers of that toy made it for the ball and elastic to break of and parents to use it on kids behinds.
Anyway Mrs. Ross would walk the halls with that paddle like she was General Patton and we would be quiet and BEHAVE. Unlike the kids of today.
At my grade school it was a nun who was principal. Sister Mary Wooden Ruler.
My elementary Principal had an “electric” paddle on the wall. Many kids “knew somebody that knew somebody” that was spanked with it. There was even rumers of 1 or 2 kids having died from the experience. Eventually I realized it was just the guts of an electric heater wrapped around a board. Did its job though.
My 4th grade teacher had a yardstick. A heavy one. She broke it on one kid’s backside (he deserved it).
