Corporal punishment still used in schools?

@LaurenRae Haha, count yourself lucky then.

@StrictOldManUK There were other schools in town that did paddle. Three paddle licks would certainly have been felt. One of them allowed three laps around the block the school occupied to substitute. I was a runner so I would have chosen the laps over the licks. I suppose you think I was lucky because I didn't get caned, as I might have at one of the famous Brit "public" schools. At such a school, I would definitely have joined the rebels in "IF."

@Alfred22 Oh yes indeed in British public schools (not the same as US public schools) the cane was a regular occurrence for boys, seen as character building.

@Hoppysan Well said, I think men our age often maintain an interest.

@StrictOldManUK we do indeed

@jackcros Nice to see a fellow enthusiast

@freyamartin Corporal punishment

@Ying167 Is this wide spread in China? Would it be administered by teachers, or reserved to a Principal?

@Ying167 Rattan canes?

@Alfred22 I was that middle child that never gave a shit. she was daddy princess. she could go to him and get what ever she wanted

@smileylovesgaming I suggest that you consider facing her with this complaint before you can't! My mother had a similar issue with her middle sister and it was never worked out! It may not help but you will at least find that out!

@Alfred22 he did put his foot down with her and made her go to college and get a good career. she is a lot better now then she was

@updown2020 Which and how punishments are administered there, Sir?

@MissyChrissy I have no idea but I believe it’s the paddle and the school needs the parents consent at the beginning of the year and before the paddling take place but they have rules on how the paddle has to be done

@updown2020 I guess over pants only?

@Missysmithers mostly in the south and texas

@Pinaymom why do you think that please?

@MasterLee not just in the UK. Gee kids are terrible these day's

@smileylovesgaming Seems a good idea if the parents agree but then again as you say if the Principal doesn't believe in it than it won't happen. Do a lot of decisions lie with the Principal in US schools or are they laws at state or country level?

@Kzatovhich Wow that is quite a set of punishments, not just using an implement but physical exercise as well.

@StrictOldManUK
Ikr. Older generations had it much worse.

@Kzatovhich Yes I think that is why older generations are more in favour, they have seen how, used properly, it can have good effects.

@updown2020 I know it some places it is allowed but not widely used. Is it widely used in those states?

@freyamartin I believe it is widely used in those states and that one has reintroduced the allowance of it for public schools.

@Philip06 in what country?

@ArtieKat I live in the UK now but I grew up in South Africa.

@freyamartin I've actually just come across a message thread between us, dating back to 2021

@sarahcs Beware all of this notorious fake
