In the old days, the principal kept a paddle in his office if the teacher couldn't handle it in the classroom.

I remember that.

My principal had to paddle two teachers, before the rest got the message to discipline unruly brats and maintain classroom control themselves; and only to bother him with serious problems.

Had that same thing happen here in Maine...

One teacher sued the principal....
The other married him.....*W*
