Well, I was paddled twice in high school by a district with a
similar policy. The first time I took the option of getting the
swats from a female coach who was designated to administer corporal
punishment. She was a former athlete who basically swung the
paddle like a tennis pro hitting a forehand smash. I was sore for
two weeks. The second time it was frome a male VP. It was bad,
but not nearly as bad.
