7th grade wood shop, My Ulbright knew how to use a paddle and did. He lit me up one time that was wow, dam. Never broke that rule again. 4th grade mr. Hammond never hit me but had a big paddle. Got so pissed one day he made us put our head down and listen to I believe it was the Kiss destroyer album with the lights out.
