A teacher with a 12" wooden ruler should've been able to solve that problem.

A glass of ice water in the face works wonders and does no physical harm.

Either one would probably bring a successful assault suit, or some such, against the teacher and schools, in this day.

And what's the problem with a little physical punishment? Harm is a stretch. I'm not talking a bruising here, I'm talking a little butt-warming.

I was a Smart A** in my younger years. I must of been in the second grade when I did something that POed the teacher.

All I remember is she came flying down the isle, picked up my hand and gave it a good whack with a wooden ruler. I of course looked up at her ans said "That didn't hurt". She flew into a complete rage and started whapping away at my hand with the ruler until it busted into many pieces. At that, her face still puffed up and red, she returned to her desk.

The class was in shock sitting there with their mouths hanging open. And me? My only two thoughts were 1. I'm never going to PO her again and 2. Lord, I hope my parents don't find out about this.
