Nope, PUBLIC school! LONG time ago though. Wouldn't occur today without serious consequences I'm sure. It actually was mild disruption I am sure compared to some of what teachers have to deal with today. I couldn't do their job. Admire those who can tackle the task.
How old are you ? I got the paddle, beat on the butt, nose put in the corner for hours on end Oh yes, child abuse these days in time, you think maybe I can I file a late claim?  I meant to add, I totally agree with you. Kids these days are too much to deal with. Or...or they? I think perhaps they are not so different from us when we were growing up, just "new age" if you will. |

50 something  Yes, remember a paddle in the principles office. Never went myself, but I know some kids went there. Best I remember it was done away with in the change of a principle and changing discipline thought lines. Early years infractions were chewing gum in class or talking in class and then you got to stay after school and write a hundred times on the chalkboard, "I must not chew gum (or talk) during class), then clean the board and go outdoors during recess and beat the chalk powder out of the eraser while classmates played (PEER PRESSURE/HUMILIATION)! |

Tasers overall save lives. I am sure there are specific incidents that it might appear otherwise. But non-lethal options are really a good thing for law enforcement to have.

The problem I see with Tasers comes up when the officers believe that it is nonlethal. That's understandable because that's what the Taser company tells them. That's how they are trained. The company that makes them has a real interest in denying that they can kill people, so they teach the end users that they can't kill people. Any maybe they really can't. I'm no expert. But, when somebody dies and a taser is involved, they get sued. Not that they wouldn't get sued anytime someone dies in custody or while being apprehended.
A better approach, IMO, is to recognize that (or act as if) Tasers are LESS Lethal rather than nonlethal.

my thought is maybe people should never give a officer a reason to tase them in the fist place |

Catholic or other private school ?  Back then, I don't think it mattered too much. I transferred to the public school system in the ninth grade and my first week there, the algebra teacher hit me in the back of the head with a textbook hard enough to knock me out of my seat. For most infractions you were sent to the assistant principal or a gym teacher for swats with a paddle. |

Lol, I remember in third grade, had a great teacher and was a sincerely sweet woman, loved her students and she would sometimes ask for a volunteer at the end of the day to erase the last chalk board lesson. I did the ante up once, then looked down at my clothes and saw all of this CHALK DUST on me...I about beat myself to pieces to get rid of it before walking home, so my parents wouldn't think I'd been in the "Chalk Pen" that day I walked the "chalk line" in those early years, because it would not be pretty to go home with a call from the school for misbehavior. The LECTURE would not be a fun sit down |
