I got my first paddling in kindergarden... Then one in first grade. Then approx 10 to 15 in the 3rd grade. That was a bad year for me. Then once more in 8th grade that was totally BS. The one in the eight grade was because I said crap. The teacher said crap was a cuss word. Its not a a cuss word no matter what he said! That still ticks me off and it was like 17 or so years ago.


Sounds like you, my friend, are the reason the rule is in effect. I hate it for you. I disliked getting beat in school. It hurt. But I dont think it adversly effected me any. Considering the line of work I am currently in, it may have actually had a positive influence on my. Is negeative influence possible to be positive...? Who would have thought I would turn out to be an upstanding member of society...


EDIT: Forgot one, I got paddled in the 6th grade one time as well. After I got in high school the cut out beating kids in this state. I think they have went back to it if they have express permission from your parents to beat you.
