Paddle vs Tawse
Poll - Total Votes: 10
I would choose 300 lines as punishment or
5 swats with the paddle in private office à la USA but with pro rata choice
6 of the best with tawse with no choice once started
You can only vote on one answer.
I’m fascinated by he difference between the YS paddling system and the Scottish strap. I watched a US docudrama where a principle offered a beautiful dark haired senior either 4 hrs detention or 4 swats. The swats were over his desk but cameras outside. Though the snack of wood on denim could be heard. She came out having chickened out at 3 with I hr detention to do. She said it was sore but worthwhile. A little flushed but not distressed.
That seems a fairer economic exchange than our system. If you were offered a choice between lines or the. Belt then as soon as the belt went over the shoulder there was no agency. No bargaining with half lines. If you couldn’t take it it was suspension till you took 6 at assembly.
US seemed more civilised And contract based.
It just how severe was a paddling?
How sore at the time?
Was their bruising?
