Georgia school brings back paddling to discipline students
By Aris Folley - 09/11/18 11:04 AM EDT

A charter school in Georgia has reinstated paddling as a disciplinary action for students.

The Georgia School for Innovation and the Classics in Hephzibah sent home a letter to parents this week asking for permission to spank their children with a wooden paddle, a local CBS affiliate reported.

“In this school, we take discipline very seriously,” Jody Boulineau, the school’s superintendent, told the local station.

"There was a time where corporal punishment was kind of the norm in school and you didn't have the problems that you have,” Boulineau continued.

The kindergarten-through-ninth-grade school said they have gotten just over a hundred "consent to paddle" forms back so far. A third of the forms received from parents have given the school consent to paddle their children.

This would be good.
Some kids need more correction than others... And I speak from experience. And I deserved it, almost every time.

But the permission slip will likely negate the effect, as a general rule, as the kind of parents that would refuse corporal punishment have the kids that would need it the most.
