School paddling memories 3-5

[PandaBear]

Anyway in third grade I got the paddle twice that year. Once was for basically acting like a brat, and the teacher was fed up with it. So she got the paddle and told me to come outside into the hallway. She tells me she is fed up with my behavior and she's going to do something about it right then. And unlike most teachers who paddled in the stairwell, or the computer lab down the hall when it wasn't being used, she paddled in the hallway where anyone could see! Anyway after being told why I was going to be spanked, she told me to bend over, hands on knees, and gave me three swats. Ironically, I was the only girl in the class paddled that year. Two other boys found themselves on the receiving end, but I don't remember anyone besides me getting the paddle twice!
The other time I got the paddle that year was because during grammar class that day I was more interested in drawing rather than paying attention. Well the teacher inevitably found out, and when we got back from lunch, told me to wait in the hall. A minute or two later, she comes out paddle in hand. It was pretty much the same routine, lecture for a minute, then bend over, three swats.
IN fourth grade the teacher was a real witch. I think if she paddled you, she got more benefit from humiliating you in front of the class, by announcing that you were going to be paddled. Luckily I only found myself on the receiving end once. Of course the one day I knew I was going to get the paddle, I wasn't really paying attention in class because i was nervous, so the teacher asks, to my complete mortification, if she needs to add an extra swat to help me remember to pay attention. Then she announces to the whole class that she was going to paddle me by the end of the day. When she finally got around to actually giving you the spanking though, I don't think she spanked hard enough that you even felt it! She would take you down to the computer lab and make you bend over one of the computer desks and give you two swats.
In fifth grade I got quite a few spankings, as did a few other kids. I also ended up that year being sent to office for a paddling. What had happened was that on the bus ride home the day before, these two older girls would NOT leave me alone, so I finally got provoked enough to really get mad and told them to knock it off you assholes! Anyway the bus driver heard me and the next morning, gave me an office referral slip. I took the slip to the office, and went back to see the principal. He asked me what had happened, and I told him that these two girls were bothering me and that I just lost my temper because they were making me so mad. He told me he understood, but that he was going to have to paddle me anyway. He told me to bend over and put my hands on the desk before he gave me 3 swats.
My paddlings from the teacher were pretty much the same. I remember she had two main things she spanked for, being unprepared for class 6 times in a quarter, and also getting 3 "checks" in one day. Well needless to say, both of these things happened to me, and other kids. I remember one boy who probably held the record for spankings in our class, at least 5 or 6 during the year! I remember another boy was probably the only one who cried from a spanking all year, and that was because he got 5 very hard licks, so loud we could hear the swats in the classroom, which never happened when other kids got it. Then there was another girl who got caught saying something bad on the playground and got the paddle for that. The two times I got the paddle, the first one was for 3 "checks" in one day. What happened was the teacher would get the paddle, then call you into the hallway. You would go down to the empty stairwell, made to bend over and put your hands on the wall, and got 3 swats. The next time was when I happened to be one of several kids getting the paddle that day. I think there were probably 6 or 7 of us. I was being paddled for not being prepared for class 6 times that quarter, and I think a couple of other kids in the group were also getting the paddle for that. The others I think it was because they had gotten 3 "checks" that day, thus earning a spanking. Anyway we were taken to the stariwell, and once we were all in there, we were lined up alphabetically, and the first kid, thankfully not me, was told to bend over and given 3 swats, then sent back to the room. Then the next kid went, bent over, 3 swats, sent back. Next it was my turn, so I bent over, took my 3 swats, and that was that. I almost wish I had been last, because I really hadn't wanted anyone to have to watch me get a paddling, but if you got paddled in a group, that's the way it was.

Nice memories Panda. As I read accounts of school spankings the one thing that is different in my memory is that I dont ever remember anybody talking about pain. Panda also mentions the pain wasn't severe at all. In my grade and junior high schools it was pretty much the same routine Panda spoke. The teach would lead the offender out with paddle in hand. Most of the time we all waited the the explosions that seem to occur because of the way hallway echoed. It was about emberrassment and humiliation but I dont remember anybody crying because it hurt. Now before all you southerners start writing, keep in mind in Illinois it wasnt quite the act it appeared to be in Texas and other places. I'm glad Panda, that girls got it in your school. In the maybe 50-60 paddlings that happened in my school years, the number of girls could be counted on one had. I also guess that in southern schools the "coaches" were paddling fools because I never even had anybody we called "coach" until junior high. I was just curious if anybody else had experiences like mine.

Anyway Panda, great accounts.

Paully, my recollection of school paddlings is almost exactly the same as yours. You pretty much nailed it.

By the time I was in junior high (early 1980's), serious spankings were only given by the vice principal and they really smarted. When I got in trouble for running in the halls, I was given a choice between a spanking and detention and I opted for the paddling. First the vice princpipal called my parents, then he made me bend over. I had been called out of gym class so I was in swimming shorts with no underwear. I felt naked and cold as I waited for the paddling to start. He hesitated for what seemed like forever before he finally slammed the paddle across both sides of my bottom. It stung so bad that I had to fight back tears as I waited for the next one. After four hacks, I slowly walked back to gym class with a burning butt and misty eyes. Even though it did hurt, the humiliation of everyone knowing that I had been spanked was the worst part of it.

stw, were you called out of gym class because it was the one right after your running incident, was it just coincidential, or do you think it was done intentionally so that there was little protection, as you mentioned?

[stw]

It was actually a few days after the offense since it took the school bureaucracy a few days to process offenses. I imagine that it was coincidental, but I suspect that it is possible that they figured that a spanking in shorts or on bare legs stings a hell of a lot more than in jeans!

I do recall seeing other guys (and it was always guys) getting called out of gym class to go to the office, only to come back after a few minutes walking in a slow gait and with a sheepish look in their face, but never on the verge of tears. I don't know, maybe they opted for the detention...

I was spanked in school in first and second grade.

In first it was with a ruler. I got it a few times by our teacher Mrs. Bedillion...a very pretty brunette. I got it once for getting out of my seat, and a couple of other times, but I don't really remember why right now. LOL! I did tear up a bit when she spanked... it wasn't a what I call a REAL paddling. It was usually only one or two swats with a ruler. It was stingy but I think that I cried more out of the feeling like I disappointed this woman. She was actually very nice and spankings were usually administered with the "I hate to have to do this..." attitude. I DID witness her paddling a 3 kids once...and this was more of a REAL paddling. She used a rectangular shaped paddle on these 3...2 boys and 1 girl. She was also very angry, and paddle each kid very hard repeatedly.

In second grade my friend and I started wrestling i gym glass while the whole class was being reprimaned. We were all supposed to be "resting" quietly until the end of the period but Michael and I were bored and decided to pass the time differently. That wasnt appreciated and our home room teacher came right up behind us and swatted our butts with a raquet ball...just one swat each. It produced a slight sting but nothing too severe. We were quiet the rest of the periord. That same year I barely escaped a paddling...again our teacher prefered a type of ruler...it was longer than 12 inches but not a yard stick... I had been given punishment lines to write and was stuck in side during recess for many days...she kept adding lines since I was so slow. I got sick of being inside (it was springtime) and I wanted to be out side with my friends. So I scribbled the lines.... I wrote on each line of the paper but didn't go all the way to the end of the sheet. I put the sheets on her desk and went out side into the fresh air. Later that day she made me stand up and showed the entire class my atrocious work. She annouced that she was going to spank me infront of the entire class by bending me over the first desk... I was sooooo scared. Not of the pain but of the humiliation. I actually felt and still do feel that I deserved the spanking but the humiliation of being spanked infront of the class was too much to bear. I sort of begged her not too... she asked the class if I should be spanked, but no one said anything. I promised to redo the lines . I did not get recess. the rest of the year.
