back paddle much?
I reported your nasty posts.

Curious: If you rec'd the paddle in school
when you were a kid, what was the worst part about it? The humiliation? The shame from your parents? The pain? The embarrassment of having to go back to class to face your peers?

This topic really made me re-think spanking in schools. Not sure I'm so fond of it anymore.

hold on....letting adults paddle my kid?
