PADDLE POLICY????

WTH!! Why in the world would the school be allowed to do that? If they did it on the street, they'd go to jail!!
I can talk, because I don't have any children...

I understand the need for discipline, but a paddle?

I'm having trouble grasping that... I'm really shocked that anyone would allow that.
And punishing someone for a whole month!!! Good thing I don't have kids because it sounds like I would be fighting with the school system and embarrassing my kids on a regular basis! I can only imagine that if you do complain they would take it out on the kids, too.
