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?
