Do you think it helped in getting you to obey school rules and authorities? Or did it just invite you to rebellion?

Did you make the same mistake each time or were they different mistakes 😀

Did you think it was a dangerous pain or just a very memorable pain Did you still feel it the next day?

What were you paddled for ??

Most likely another dose from your parents that evening!

That's kind of the point. You remember, then you don't do the stupid shit that prompted getting your ass whipped in the first place.

It's happened for thousands of years. Know what? People usually live through it.
