Subject: Re: High school paddling Author: Cliff [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:03:29 10/07/24 Mon In reply to: Karen 's message, "High school paddling" on 10:49:24 10/07/24 Mon A retired Educator told me about when she was a student teacher at a Dallas area high school in the late 80s. She said any student wanting to get out of an afternoon detention, could show up at the Assistant Principal's Office at a certain time in the morning before classes started and take 2 paddle licks to get out of an after school detention. If they had been given more than one day of detention, they had to show up each morning for another 2 licks. It was called, "Burning off a detention". According to her, most of the students who chose to "burn off a detention", were those who had after school jobs or school related activities, such as sports or cheerleading. Karen, If you were back in High School and given a choice between 2 licks or a 2 hour long after school detention, which would you take?
