Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

I wish they were still standard issue in every classroom.

My dad had an assortment of weapons of mASS destruction First one in school that I ever encountered was in 4th or 5th grade, the principle Sister Mary Arthur looked like a linebacker and knew how to swing it. Jr high coach had one made out of Fiberglass with little holes in it, you could hear it whistling right before it smacked your backside Principle Mr Brown big guy would lift you off the ground when he whacked you, the asst principle was a small guy that you had to try and not laugh when he swatted you. Now to be clear I was not a trouble maker, I was framed by the Clintons

I got my first one in 5th grade as well in PE class. That jackazz coach hit me so hard it brought water to my eyes. I didn't cry cause I was so pissed. He wasn't one of those people you respected. I wish I would have met up with him after I was grown.

The teachers would proudly display their tool of choice above the chalkboard.
Had one teacher that would let you sign it if you qualified for the Achiever Award. Qualification was getting ore than 10 licks in one punishment redirection session. I felt cheated that he only let me sign it once.

Our Vice Principal at Mesquite High ( Mr. Maine’s) used one of those on me many, many times. I would walk my girlfriend, now wife to class and would be late to mine. After so many tardies it was 3 seats or detention, so I’d just take the swats. I recall after one paddling he said “son, love is a hurting thing for you”.
Surprisingly enough, they never called my mom for permission and I didn’t want them too.

I had a drafting teacher that would give us a signed hall pass to take all 3 lunch periods if you took 3 swats. I was a frequent flyer.

At the start of the 3rd grade, the teacher called me up to the front of the room to show me a present she bought for me over the summer. Yep, a paddle. I guess I already had established a reputation.
Warped me for life!

They were used often in my school, you could hear them in action out in the hall on a daily basis. Fifth grade I learned Mrs Singleton had the best swing of them all.

Coach Davidson in 4th grade PE...................Terry Sides had pushed a girl and I punched him in his fat belly so hard he puked. Coach gave me 3 of the hardest swats as I had a headache for 2 days and peed blood from hitting me high
In high school somebody burned his car down.

I think our 5th grade coach swatted someone every period. He probably got off on it. The only other swat I got was years later by the lady vice principle. Don't think a lady can't swing a paddle.

I wasn’t a bad kid I just did dumb stuff. Usually had a choice of the paddle or call my parents. I always chose the paddle.

I remember getting paddled in 4th grade. Best friend took one of my fish sticks off my cafeteria tray and I punched him in the nose. You just don't take a guy's fish stick, LOL.

1st grade next to chalk board. The “Texas Tail-Blaser” written across it saw it used, but never on me.

I have been trying to forget. It`s funny, but the person who used one of those on me was a coach / assistant principal(1976) who I respected and still respect till this day. I have seen him thru the years and I always stopped to talk to him. I really did not deserve it but the teacher and I always butted heads. He was the assistant principal at the time.

In middle school, an assistant principal threatened to use one on me...for holding a girl's hand walking in the hallway! I'm a lover, not a fighter.
