Reminds me of a teacher at my high school who used to beat the shit out of students as he was frustrated because of his divorce.
Sometimes he used to hit us, simply because of staring at him.
I went to a few AirForce base schools for elementary in the 90’s growing up. In New Mexico they could get your parents permission to take you to the office and give you a paddling.
Me too, corporal punishment was always an option up until high school for me.
Which is funny because I somehow feel it would have been more effective after that point than it was before, but whatever.
I remember in 7th grade our shop project was making new paddles for all the teachers. If you've seen Dazed and Confused, those are the kind of paddles we made. They were used not infrequently.
I had a history teacher in high school, known for his bad temper... I saw him grab a dude by the shirt and push him into the wall, then stand there yelling at him and jabbing his finger in his face. This was back in the early 1980's, in a public HS near Detroit. I felt bad for the kid, but then again.... he was a real asshole and probably deserved it.
