That's pretty smart. AND SAD... I VIVIDLY remember one of my teachers, a nun, spanking a misbehaving student (not me) with a paddle in front of the class...student was very embarrassed & the rest of us were afraid one of us might be next! END of problem for the rest of the year. Not now of course, now you don't DARE touch the little darlings or someone will be suing for LOTS of money & another attorney will have a brand new boat paid for! Agreed. I think it was a smart decision on the part of the school, but it is sad that it was a measure they felt was necessary for their own protection (against lawsuits, etc...)
