Did your Teacher Hit you in School?

If a Teacher did this today, they would be fired and probably arrested.



I was:



1. Whacked on the knuckles with a Ruler

2. Pulled by the ear (that hurt)



Early '70's, Grade School

In wood shop class we had to cut our own paddles. The teacher would make sure we made them to his specifications, with holes drilled in it and the right width and length. I found it quite entertaining, when the teacher lost a finger in the bandsaw that year. I guess he was showing us how NOT to operate the saw -



My 8th grade gym teacher bounced one of my buddies head off the block wall. It went thud-thud-thud.

I got pops as they were called in I was in school. Got it again when I got home. Can't do that now. Had a parent tell me yesterday they don't spank their kids. I just said I can tell that.

I had a second grade teacher that knew Moses personally, she was older than dirt. She had a ring on her right hand, middle finger, that was bigger than a mans class ring. It was freakin huge! She would turn it where the big part was on the palm side of her hand and pop a knot on the top of your head that would last for days when you acted up!! I wore a buzz cut in those days (still do too, LOL) and the knot would stick up out of my hair even. I still think she was satan's sister, what a mean old nag. The principals paddle was pleasant compared to the knots on the head.

DITTO BOB, Paddle with holes in it. wood class the teacher made us paddle each other, who ever was first would allways say to the other, don't hit me hard and I will not hit you hard, never worked, who ever was last tried to kill the other poor sucker. So the idea was to make sure you were last or heaven help you. Early 60's. :{ Not Catholic, regular school in Ark.

We had teachers that would throw chalk and erasers. I got the strap twice during high school. Once for whistling in the hall as exams were on and once for fooling with the girl hair in front of me. Those were the days!! Late 50's early 60's.

I got the paddle in school. I got it again when I got home. Only once at school and only when I really deserved it at home. I have no regrets.

I sent one of my daughters to live with her mother in the Florida panhandle. She started getting into trouble here in the liberal part of Florida. I use the belt if it's needed but it could mean trouble here if a liberal reports it. Up in the panhandle they still hit the kids if they need it. My daughter is doing WAY better up there where discipline is still a part of life. Her stepdad is a good man and beleaves in discipline also. He's also big.

I remember when discipline stopped in school. It was in 1972.

I have S. Slaven to thank for looking so much like me! He always got my beatings and you can bet, he hasn't forgotten after 35 years! Craig

Double Ditto's on the Holy Paddle. I got it in football practice a few times for what, I dont remember. I do remember the bat though. It stood about 3 1/2 feet high, double handed handle with grip tape on it. It was about 8 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches thick. It had about 8 1 inch holes drilled in it and was black with a sticky resin coating on it.

That resin coating gripped your underwear good when you got hit.

One hit was good for a 2 hour numb butt, and one was all they gave. I had it used twice and that changed my attitude fast.



Just thinking about it makes my butt numb. Oh, wait, no. I just need to shift my a$$ in this hard chair.

Ok, that's better.

I had a coach that was gonna give me a few licks with a Bombed bat in the 8th grade. Little napoleonic b!@#$%d. He pulled it out and I told him he better take it easy. Then he went on to tell me how he thought things were.



After the first hit I took it from him and threatened him with his life. I was about 5'10' 160#. I took the paddle to the dumpster for him.



Funny, I never heard anthing more about it from faculty

 

[The patriot]

I dont remember ever being hit in school by teachers at least. LOL.

When I got to HS, I cut classes a lot. I used to get my gym teacher cigarettes. Mr Miller.

He smoked Mores I think. They were those cigarette/cigar things.

Come to think of it, I dont remember anyone getting hit. I lived in an upper class neighborhood. Guess the teachers had to be careful of who's kid they might be hitting.

[kiwi bird]

New Zealand public highschool late 60s to early 70s I got the razor strop, cane and in Physical Ed I got the pleasure of having my butt whomped with my own tennis shoe.



Deserved everything I got and (generally) NEVER repeated THAT mistake again.



I don't believe in beatings for discipline but do believe that a swat is appropriate at times.



PC doesn't mean it's right.

Busting some a**

I don't know about '72 being the year of no discipline because I didn't start school til '76. Let me tell you, Here in Ohio, they practiced it until '84. One day I was out sick (Back in 4th grade, teacher was Ms. Reed). Well, turned out the teacher was out too. She decided that since the class had been bad, she was gonna swat all of us. (big, hardwood with holes). I tried to plead to no avail as the sub did not take attendance. The rest of the class would not vouch for my absence as they were gonna get it and so was I!!. She was one STRONG woman (She was the Phys -ed teacher and the science teacher). Now for '84... Mr. Barns. Large black man with a vengance. need I say more :{

Paddling butts

I graduated High school in 1970. I had this PE coach that had this paddle made from a leather strap about 5 inches wide and honestly 12 inches long. as the paddle got long, the leather thickness got thinner! Anyhow, there was this friend of mine that liked to pi$$ off this coach. One day he had enough, told my friend to grab his ankles and swung for center field. This guys a$$ lit on fire!!! To say the least, he kept his mouth shut after that. Do I think that this should still be done today? Darn right!!
