I saw that article about Texas paddling the other day. Of course all leftists being whiny squeaky wheels, those were the only ones posting on the article. The majority were whining that it was "beating" and should be a crime. But the poll said otherwise, with a solid majority favoring it.
In middle school, they'd take you out into the hall and lean you up against the wall. I can't imagine any school would bend you over a desk, but this is a dummy bouncy after all. Anyway, out in the hall and they would have a teacher from the next room come out and witness it. Later on, they started taking out the random troublemaker to witness the paddling also. High school was about the same, teacher witness and in the hall against the wall. No one was ever in shock. There was usually much laughter about it. It was paddling after all, not a beating.
I think we've gone over this before, but just to say it again, dummies are such pussies.
Heh, just to add a memory, there was this little social studies teacher who couldn't aim for her life. Two paddlings and she started having the coach next door do her paddling. The first poor kid she nailed across the hamstrings, the other across the lower back.
