Yeah I know what you mean I think a lot of the problem with kids today is nobody cares about them or takes the time to raise them right any more, and that includes tanning their hide when it’s needed too. My issue is trusting the State and it’s employees to do something so fragile and delicate as using physical discipline on a child, when you don’t know the person’s true intention who’s giving the paddling and how easily discipline can cross a line into physical or even sexual abuse. Another example I can think of when I was in 9th grade my 60 year old female algebra teacher paddled a fellow freshmen kid for failing to turn in several homework assignments, a stupid reason to paddle a kid to begin with. After she paddled him when he returned to class he came back in the room snickering and I think I even noticed a slight boner. So if her intended purpose was to discipline and punish him for failing to do his homework she failed miserably in that regard as the paddling didn’t even hurt him and in the process possibly sexually aroused him from the paddling, whether that was intended or not. Why not just either give him 0’s for the missed work and let him and his parents deal with the bad grades or put him in in school suspension or Saturday school or something. A punishment the kid may have actually hated and caused him some inconvenience and encouraged him to do his homework in the future.
