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.
