“Corporal Punishment,” what a lovely, soft language term to legitimize literally terrorizing children through violence.

Texas here, every year we had a form that was sent home with us that our parents had to sign if they didn’t want it.

I knew one kid who got the paddle. They were given the option to go to in school suspension or get corporal punishment. He chose the later.

Other than that, nobody else ever had corporal punishment, and I never heard of anyone else getting to make that choice.

I wonder if we were in one of the four districts that have banned it. I genuinely never saw that form or even heard a whisper about paddling.

Maybe. I was in a really small town, but it was a good district that was fairly liberal, all things considered. We always used to joke about what would warrant it, since we were all aware it was a possibility. The form could have been a deterrent tactic, I suppose.
