Oh yeah...my father used to say “Time Out” when he was changing hands because one got tired.
Out of what some call blatant sadism came the time worn phrases “This hurts me more than it does you.” “Will whup on you till you cry, then punish you for crying”
My mother stopped that foolishness when I was 14 or so and raised my arms to protect my face and she hurt herself on my , sharp, skinny elbows...
I don’t even think the Nuns took the time to say “Time Out” as they were ‘praying’ while ‘introducing’ you to the joys of the Cross hanging around their neck....
Now I NEVER hit either of my kids (daughters) or wife, but I also didn’t believe in the “Time Out” phrase either.

What I remember is “bend over” and a stinging lesson applied to the back side. How thankful I am that my parents loved me enough to teach me right from wrong.

My wife and I are GenX-ers with 3 kids ages 10 to 14. Our kids are polite, respectful, and considerate. We've never uttered the works "time out." Neither have we ever employed corporal punishment.

I believe there's an effective middle ground between "go get a switch" and "time out, okay, sweetie?"

Nope. I must be from a different era. I remember mine saying. "Go out to the willow tree and bring me back a switch..."

I remember the promise of time travel...my mom telling me she was going to "knock me into next week." I also remember her chasing me around with a wooden spoon...and I love and revere my parents for not killing me, 'cause I probably deserved it.

Yeah, usually with a belt applied across my back side when I did something really obnoxious. "Time Out", that there is funny, I don't care who you are!

My mother would have run anyone off the place had they come around spouting such crap.

I imagine, this taking place in Arizona, that this school board won't get away with this.
