I know I got whacked pretty good by nuns in 1st and 2nd grade. I didn’t turn into a monster. I think it did me good. As a matter of fact when I complained to my dad about it once, he piled on and gave me another licking. Gheesh, it’s tough being a kid!
I got paddles in elementary school by nuns, for throwing a snow ball back at a boy who threw it at me first. Then I got paddled when I got home. If you ever disrespected a teacher you were in big trouble at school and at home. I think this is the major problem with kids these days- no respect, not taught respect, helicopter parents defending “Johnny” at school no matter what he did.
My kids were made to be accountable and show respect for adults.
no thx....today's teachers do not have the best interest of our children like the old teachers did..the old teachers you never questioned them because they still believed teaching was a vocation...
My principal used to whack us and when it was over would ask us to sign his paddle. First and only time I’ve been asked for my autograph.
