A quickie with a paddle

The principal of my HS was also the baseball coach and a former Marine. He had a bat that was cut flat and had holes drilled in it for improved speed of swinging. This brings back memories......
 
Paddles ... Takes me back to Jr high ... Every teacher then had a paddle ... Even the women .. Most of the time had a male teacher use it for them ...
7 grade was my very first shop class in school ... The first project to complete was to make a paddle that would be given to a teacher in need ...
Shop teacher was ex-marine ... After you finished said project he would test it on the maker in front of class ... 3 spats ... If it broke you got to make a new one ... If you flinched ... Class got a good laugh ... I think I flinched ... I don't remember a lot of my teachers ...but I'll never forget Mr Hill ...

One of my favorite scenes from my favorite movie.

Trivia fact - most of that movie was filmed in Canton, Missippi, just north of Jackson.

Oh brother is full of favorite and quotable scenes one right after the other, possibly more than any movie I know! It's one of our favorites too top three for sure.
 
Jr. High school gym teacher had one. He used it on us as needed, especially when someone got caught sliding across the group shower on their bare butts. Wood shop teacher made him a new one every year.

If we brought paddling back to the schools we probably wouldn't have half the problems that we have today! :haggle:

Too late for that. It needs to be used on the idiots that have taken control of our government. Except the "paddle" needs to look and act like this one:
