I think it is allowed at my old school with permission from the parent's. But I don't know if the new Principal even uses it.

@smileylovesgaming too bad. You never got paddled at school. But i know mom tanned your bottom
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
@1olderguy20 i know my sister got it once that I know of
@smileylovesgaming Where did you live when your sister felt the paddle at school? For a while schools were reluctant to use paddling or swats because minority kids seemed to be disproportionately getting it. But I think now, where it is used, even the students support it and almost all parents sign the permission form at the beginning of the year.
But where it is used, it is popular and the number of swats is controlled and so is the construction of the paddle. The effect of these restrictions is to limit the potential abuse without limiting the embarrassment and social aura that accompanies a paddling. If a student isn't bothered by the reputation of having been sentenced to swats, the swats themselves are not likely to deter either. In effect, having all these limitations keeps swats without permitting any serious physical harm. From what I have heard, where it exists, it works and is supported by both parents and students.

@Alfred22 I lived in Oklahoma. all I really know is they could only give like 2 or 3 swats with it
@smileylovesgaming Exactly. Three is the usual max. However, when delivered, as some like to say, "with intent" or "with the intent to make an impression", three can be memorable enough not to like it. But three generally is "just getting started" at home! So, the real consequence of swats at school is not felt at school!

@Alfred22 I do remember the spanking she got when she got home
@smileylovesgaming Were you a witness? That is always hard on you. Of course, hard in a different way from how hard it is on a sibling, even a sibling who has embarrassed the family and earned her home spanks.

@Alfred22 she was daddy little princess so get the chance to see her bare butt over mom knee I would watch
@smileylovesgaming I had more than one friend who thought I was like your sister. One relative even gave me a copy of "The Little Prince" just to emphasize the point!

@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!
