Seriously? When students misbehaved in school in Mississippi back in the 70’s and 80’s, there was corporal punishment with a huge paddle. I lived in Mississippi as a kid and I remember the “Board of Education” (Nobody misbehaved in Coach’s class, btw) Have they eliminated the paddle? If so, yeah, they’ve got problems. “Spare the paddle and spoil the child.”
I went to a public school in Pittsburgh and those teachers and principals didn’t fool around. Once I saw a Vice Principal break up a fight between two black kids by throwing them up against the wall and dragging them to his office. He was a Korean war vet and knew how to handle himself. We all knew not to tangle with him.
