View Full Version : We've become a nation of candy-asses
When I was in Jr. High and HS, we could get spanked on our birthdays if we wanted...and there weren't no padding on that paddle!
Iowa Principal Quits Amid Birthday Spanking Uproar

MOUNT VERNON, Iowa -- An elementary (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/06/18/iowa-principal-quits-amid-birthday-spanking-uproar/?test=latestnews#) principal in eastern Iowa who admitted to spanking students on their birthday has resigned.
KGAN-TV reports Washington Elementary principal Terry Eisenbarth submitted his resignation Friday night as the Mount Vernon Community Schools board was considering his fate with the district.
Parents complained after learning Eisenbarth would call students to his office on their birthday for spankings.
Eisenbarth admitted to the spankings in a May letter to parents and provided a photo (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/06/18/iowa-principal-quits-amid-birthday-spanking-uproar/?test=latestnews#) the padded stick he used to give the spankings.
Mount Vernon police investigated but found no wrongdoing. The Linn County sheriff's office is still looking into the spankings.
Eisenbarth will get $13,500 and benefits through August.
A message left Saturday with the school district office wasn't immediately returned. No number was listed for Eisenbarth.

My Jr High School PE Teacher drilled holes in hi paddle (for more swing speed). When someone got in trouble, we all quietly gathered outside the window to hear the screams. Great fun!

:yesnod: That's what our Jr. High principal had...made a sickening whistling sound on the down swing...:leaving:
I got paddled in elementary school too. I deserved it. It helped set me straight. America is falling like the Roman Empire :(

We've been a nation of candy asses ever since the Carter Administration.

It was our 7th grade math teacher. He had the weight to put into his swings too.

BTDT!!!! In public school in my day you got your choice of detentions or three licks. The licks passed quicker, but hurt more. We had a couple of teachers with "drilled" paddles.
Until 9th grade I went to a Catholic Parochial school. Being a private school, teachers had full permission to beat our asses whenever deemed necessary. The nun teachers almost never had to. They were really close to the Big Man upstairs, and a beating was nothing compared to a guaranteed ticket to Hell!

I got it with one like that from a teacher that meant business.
But only once, I knew never to mess up in his class again..
EVER!

Yup. We used to get our asses lit up, too, by the Board of Education.

:iagree:Personally, I didn't like having my ass busted. And yes, we are falling apart at the seams since most of the time there are no consequences for your actions when you do wrong. It sounds like what the principal did was nothing more than good fun. It was not punishment for anyone, and therefore justified no punitive action against him. I hope he finds a better job soon. What a load of crap.

like a mofo! :sad:
Unless the principal was paddling UNWILLING kids who had done nothing other than having a birthday, this should have been a non issue.
I could see kids, especially the boys, wanting to prove their manhood by getting licks on their birthday, in front of their friends. This is a time honored, though a little weird, tradition. The principal was just participating in a tradition, and as long as it was voluntary, I see no issues here.
Yet another example of why "zero tolerance" is the choice of idiots.
I agree ... I've never in my life time have experienced more Grown Men Crying, than I have over the last couple years ... it's pathetic, sad and embarrassing. :leaving:

:iagree: We had the option of calling our parents or the paddle. I took the licks every time.

Me, too. But, inevitably, word still got out I was cuttin' the fool in school, resulting in additional ass-beatings from Mom, Dad, and my Aunt Gail.
Yup, back then it really did take an entire village to raise a child!
