When I was in 3rd or 4th grade around 88 or 89 I pushed a kid while we were in line for running his mouth and he fell into a few other people and knocked them down. A teacher took me to the principals office and he immediately called my mother and asked her if she wanted him to get the paddle down from the wall and beat my ass with it but she said if anyone is going to whip her sons ass it will be her.
I couldn't imagine what people would do this day and age if they're kids principal called and asked to whip there ass. Im sure he would be fired and sitting in jail for a while.

I have a child, and I can honestly say that I would be in favor of reinstating corporal punishment. Might cut down on some of the bullshit and outright disrespect that a lot of today's youth show. Thank goodness it's a rare occassion where I have to initiate a spanking, because as the old saying goes "this hurts me more than it hurts you." It's true!
