    >>>> I can tell you from experience that paddling is for real. I came
    back from Thanksgiving holidays today. The gym floor had been redone and
    three of my students decided to walk on floor with street shoes. They
    ignored the sign that told them to not walk on the floor. I felt like
    they purposely walked on the floors. I had them to come to my classroom
    during lunch and I gave each one of them four licks each for walking on
    the floor.Word traveled fast because I told them I was going to paddle
    them for walking on the floor. Paddling works because we did not have
    another student walk on the floor.
