I doubt it, unless your mom is some sort of bitch that don't like you all that much the begin with.
Everyone likes to pretend like their parents would have been cool with the teacher punching you in the jaw for passing notes because “we were more hardy back then, by gum!”, but putting a kid outside in the cold with no coat is just stupid as hell.
You never went to a Catholic School in the 50s-60s or early 70s, or you would never have posted this pussy crap.
The Nuns would beat the hell out of us using paddle boards, 12" rulers, and the vicious ones would use the sharp side.
They would then give you a note for your parents, which guaranteed at least one if not two beatings at home.
It is not "we were more hardy" it was called discipline, and there was the no smart mouthing allowed, or you paid the price.
The price was a physical ass whippen' and as some one who has taken his fair share, {every one was well earned} it was a better system that the snowflake luven one that is in effect today.
I don't know if the kid deserved to be punished or not, but he was not beaten with the sharp side of a ruler until his knuckles bleed. Spare me the tears.
“he was not beaten with the sharp side of a ruler until his knuckles bleed”
Yeah, that would actually be less dangerous. Nobody dies from having their knuckles beaten. People do die from exposure to the elements.
Posters who are comparing this to regular old “corporal punishment” seem to be missing that distinction. The objections aren’t really about how painful or uncomfortable the child was made to be, they are about what seems to be reckless disregard for the child’s welfare.
I went to a rural elementary school in western Michigan with a Dutch protestant principal that did indeed have a paddle.
And yes my parents used belts, and they didnt like getting calls that took them away from their factory jobs if you couldn’t act right.
And no it is still retarded to put a kid outside in the cold with no coat or jacket because you couldn’t think of a better way of punishing them because they did a nasty dance.
If the kid caught pneumonia and maybe died from it, I can only guess that the people thinking this was totally ok would only offer some prayers.
