Many years ago it was common for corporal punishment to be administered at school. The principal or headmaster was usually the one designated to carry out that task. As a former principal or a Baptist middle school for grades 6 to 8, I paddled many students during my 20 years of service. On these pages are accounts of students who found themselves making that long trip to the principal’s office.
I have also asked my friend Janet to talk to others that experienced what she did three times during her three years at a Baptist school.
There is no way to know if all of these accounts are factual but I assume that they are. In any event, they are very interesting.
