    >>>>>>I got paddled in March at my schol for not obeying a sign that
    stated not to walk on the gym floor. I got caught by the custodian He told
    me that he was going to turn my name into the office. My PE coach the next
    day called me to his office and told me that he knew about me walking on
    the floor and he thought I needed a paddling for it. I bent over his desk
    and he gave me 5 swats with his paddle. I had to also sweep the gym floor
    for one week every day during sixth block.I will not ever walk on that
    floor again with my street shoes after it has been varnished.
