I graduated in '93, and in my state, they outlawed it a year or two after I graduated.  Paddling was the only thing that teachers had to keep any kind of order in the classroom.  Kids today go to school knowing that their bad behavior will have zero ramifications.  Look around, the majority of kids in schools today are little prima donnas or wanna-be thugs who feel like they're entitled to whatever they ask for.  I really feel sorry for the teachers of today, they have to sit there and take whatever abuse is dished out, and if they stand up and try to "correct" the situation, they are going to be punished by the school board.  It's a lose-lose situation, for the teachers and the students.</p></blockquote><p></p>
