That's why paddling in schools should be same sex ie for girls it should be a female teacher.

@ddell2 How about gay/lesbian teachers?

Or gay males who might not be that interested in a girl

Or ……… It gets more complicated every day! Maybe it’s time to simply no longer allow school spankings.

Call me old-fashion or whatever but when you are making rules, I believe that you got to stick with the concept that there are two sexes. I am fully cognizant that is not the most possible concept these days. I don't know if you have heard the joke or not about a t-shirt or not. A guy walks the window of a clothing store and sees a t-shirt in the window that reads. There are 37 genders. He thought it would be a hit at the lake so he goes into the store. Tells the clerk that he wants the t-shirt in the window. The clerk says. "They are available in men's and women's sizes."

Paddling was prevalent in the schools that I attended and it worked as a deterrent to bad behavior. Of course, in those days, the last thing that you would do is go home and complain about being paddled as school because you would get another one at home.

Firstly, I think the solution is same sex paddling! Secondly, how times have changed! As ddell2 said, in the past, THE LAST THING you wanted, was your parents to know you had been paddled! Since however bad the paddling had been at school; IT WAS NOTHING compared to what was awaiting you when you got home! That was when the real pain and suffering started! That was when your bare flesh really suffered the 'fires of hell'! No layers of clothing to protect your buttocks now! A bare bottom spanking was bad enough in itself; OBVIOUSLY! But on an already tender, sore and sometimes bruised behind, the spanking you got at home was simply agony! Now your already hurting mounds of buttock flesh were in for the 'real deal'; a blistering and roasting that would have you howling, pleading, begging and sobbing as a solid piece of cherrywood, cellulite or a hard and heavy hand made the earlier school paddling seem like a pleasant memory! That is how it was for me, my siblings, cousins, friends and acquaintances; or the vast majority of them anyway! I don't think the kids today can even begin to understand JUST HOW MUCH THOSE SPANKINGS HURT!!!! In our parents eyes we had brought shame on them; and committed a violation; misbehaving, or for that matter, simply violating a school rule was forbidden! There was a price to pay! And boy, did we ever pay it!

I'm surprised that this still happens, but less surprised when I see that it was Florida (or the South in general). My school still did spanking (with a strap, not a paddle) but this was in the 1980s. And I seem to recall that when I was near the end of school, they also made it a choice between spanking and detention. But it was phased out entirely right after that.

Not a single response here condemning corporal punishment in any & all guises? So let's recap what zittbiz users her think. 1) An assault on a student is ok here, as long as it's not ostensibly a sexual assault 2) Somehow "same gender" desexualizes this child abuse, even if the teacher may be homosexual 3) but ,of course she's being struck in an intimate sexual area & that still isn't "sexual".?

Not 100% surprising coming from the South, but the medieval style zittbiz encouragement,cheering & jeering on of child abuse as demonstrated on this thread is disconcerting .

I am certainly not condoning this sort of discipline and punishment of children! And I am certainly not advocating it in this day and age! I am simply stating how things were in the past! For me and most of the youngsters I knew anyway! It was a very different world back then! And what happened, happened! Whether people like it or not! Whether the pendulum has swung to far the other way now, is, I suppose, a matter of opinion! But back, for example, in the '60s and '70s, when I grew up, attitudes were very different!
