When I was in high school MANY years ago, I saw a coach paddle a boy in gym class. The paddle broke and flew the entire length of the gym floor.

I don't think that would be allowed today.

The coach would be lucky if he weren't charged with assault.

Yeah, OSHA would insist that he wear goggles these days to protect himself from flying splinters.

My science teacher in Jr. High used to throw his pointer like a spear at kids who were sleeping in class.
