Remember the days when some teachers had a wooden paddle hanging on the wall? About 18"x4" and about a 1/2 " thick with some holes drilled through for 'effect'. Not too many kids mouthed off back then.

As a matter of fact, I do - the old "board of education" - not that they ever used them on me.....

Shop teachers were the worst.....

Junior-high P.E. teachers were kinda' anxious to use them, too.

Shop teachers used to build them out of fiberglass, as I recall.

My P.E. teachers would just PT you until you dropped...they didn't use the board.

Fiberglass......high tech....

All things considered, I guess a "swat" is still better than a right cross!

Usually it was a loss of privileges - ****-whoopin's at home were reserved for particularly egregious offenses to respect such as back-talking. I was pretty much over doing that by then.

My seventh grade teacher Mrs Wolf, broke a yardstick over my head, for goofing off in class. Hard head, no problem. One fine LADY!

I was such a little trouble maker my parents kept a wooden spoon in the car lol. So I am messing with my sister one day and they threaten me with it...I think I have the perfect solution and grab it out of the center console and throw it out the window on the freeway .

Then I learned the pain of the belt, Dad always had that with him

Kids need a little fear put in em now days, man, I know those things kept me in line when I was young.

(I don't support child abuse so save your breath)

LOL you saw that? I was trying to show how clean the motor was running but I couldn't get the graph right. I was trying to type it out. The guy at the smog station was surprised that the truck seemed to put out 0 emissions.

He even looked under the truck to be sure there wasn't a big hole in the exhaust or something.
