Judge Orders public spankings for B&E of school (1900)
#11
Till the WWII spankings were widely used punishments in the school here. There're numerous of documented reviews about incidents where a crowd of children from the same school had severely misbehaved and then punished - typically switched or belted - in front of the board.
When the school board had found a group of their pupils guilty for instance to stealing, smoking or vandalism, children's parents were ordered to come to school building together with their offspring. Then the parents were expected to punish the children in front of the board members. In most cases the chastisements were given on bare bottom and the board specified the implement to be used and also delivered the switches for parents.
So those spankings were not public to everyone but just to punished kids' families. It was often told parents took whole their families to witness what happens to naughty children.
This was less than 100 years ago and nowadays parents got fined if they happen to pull hair or give a snap to their offspring. What a shame.

Once I was talking to a principal about a mom who became so angry at her seven year old son during a meeting after school with the both of them that she grabbed him and took him behind the school, took down his pants and be began to administer a bare bottom spankng in front of the principal. The principal was so shocked she called C.P.S.. I knew the mom and the child and would agree the boy did deserve a spanking. However mom should of at least waited until they got home were it could have occurred in private.

Garth's mentioning of school reminds me that up until recently, in the school district that covers Syracuse Kansas, if corporal punishment was called for (as part of their progressive discipline) that the school would call in the parent/guardian to administer the spanking after discussing the issue. They remove this policy as of the 2014 school handbook update but I think this is a good idea.

I mean if I was a kid and I knew my parent/guardian was going to be called into school to give me a spanking for soemthing I'd alter my behaviour.

Here in South Carolina US, paddling is allowed in most schools though I've never given permission for it. I just personally don't feel anyone has the right to touch my child like that buy myself, my husband, and very close family/friends.
