I Was Spanked For A Bad Report Card

Back when I was growing up in school, the day report cards came out I always dreaded because if I had a bad grade I was always spanked. That held true for all the kids in the neighborhood. If the windows were open you heard the sounds of the belt hitting a bare bottom. It did not matter if grade school. high school and yes even in college
if you got a bad grade girl or boy , you were not sitting to well in your desks at school the next day.

Was it the same in your neighborhood?

No Charlie, my parents did not believe in physical punishment of any kind. I got sent to my room and couldn't go out or use the phone. That type of stuff. I did the same with my kids, and even at that we very rarely had to punish them. I can probably count on my hands the number of times they were sent to their rooms to change their attitude.
