My son was a little hellion when he was between 8-11. I spanked that arse many a day. I gave his school principal permission to spank and he did a fair job. But the boy tended to not want to stay seated and keep his mouth shut. His 3rd grade teacher was a bit of b%&$* but I warned my son one day after he got home from a paddling that next time, if there was a next time, the school called me at work about you misbehaving, I would leave work, come to the school and take care of him personally. Sure enough, I got a call. My son's eyes were as big as saucers when he saw me step into his classroom. I led him out behind the school and took care of business. Never got another call from any school thereafter. My son is now 29 and still talks about that whipping to this day. The boy ended up an honor student lol.
