Comment on Back in my day it was ok to receive a paddlin (simpson ref there) at school as a kid. But on the flip side it was against the law to beat a paddle a prisoner by a guard, why the rule difference?

  Corporal punishment was also opt-out at my elementary school in Virginia in the early 2000s, maybe late 90s? I don’t really remember which school year it was, just that one teacher in particular had multiple paddles engraved with her name and speed holes, and I did witness them used on classmates
