That generation believed in consequences. I think I got my last swat in school when I was in 8th grade for fighting. That was the early 60s. My folks had a pat policy for that. LOL, they figured if I got swats at school, I must have done something to deserve it (they were right.). Their position was if I told them about it, I would get more so I was mum on the subject when I got swats in school.

I only got one paddling from the Principal....It was kinda-sorta deserved. A fight broke out and I did not get out of the way in time, I got punched, and then it was on!
The Principal was a Bataan Death March survivor and did not stand for any foolishness.

I was a military kid -- went to 12 schools in 12 years and was always new. I think I got swats in every year from third grade to sixth grade--I won't deny they were all earned.

Yes, got my butt beat many times. Mostly by dad, and he used a handful of what we called hickories (switches). 4 or 5 at a time and he wouldn't stop until he had nothing in his hand but nubs.
Was paddled at every school I went to for the same thing every time......fighting.
I was even paddled as a senior in high school for fighting on the bus. There was 5 of us and we had a choice, get paddled (5 licks) or suspension. We all chose the paddle and got to watch each person get his licks. Mr T (principal) didn't play either, he had this paddle with what looked like a bat handle and he gripped it with 2 hands.

I still have the note my principal sent me home with telling my parents of my punishment.

That's why I took the swats. If my folks would have found out I got swats there would have been hell to pay.I still have the note my principal sent me home with telling my parents of my punishment.

Yep. Some swats on the butt and some nights without dinner were appropriate in many cases.
There's a difference between spanking and abuse. We got walloped now and then as kids when we did something bad. You only need to spank once or twice and then use it as just a threat.
I knew a barrister and she said schools had to ban using the cane and slipper because some head teachers were overly using it for sexual pleasure, that's the abuse part.
Spare the rod and spoil the child - that's why more and more are unruly, throw litter everywhere, few manners, no respect and generally just assholes.

My dad handled things this way:
He had a list of simple rules for anyone living under his roof. If you broke the rule he would remind you what the rule was and let you know that if you broke the rule again, you'd get a spanking. My dad was a man of his word. When he promised to do something, he kept his promise. So if I broke the rule a second time, I would get a spanking -- no ifs, ands, or buts. I generally learned not to break the rule a third time.

Not the belt but occasional spankings. My friends got way worse from their parents. Do any parents spank now? We didn't with our kids.

I think RFK jr. should have his HHS look into the connection between a drop in childhood spankings and a rise in autism.
. . . I'm thinking they used to smack the autism out of us. . . .

We used to have contests to see who would get the most whacks from the principal in Jr. High. I remember the winner one year was the guy who got 60 of them. The Principal was also the football coach, so they were not love taps, lol. It was a tough working class neighborhood, so being able to take a beating was a point of pride. there were also no social promotions; if you graduated high school you really did the work. Teachers controlled the classrooms, not hippie meth head parents and sniveling Karens.

So, they taught you two things;
1. Beating someone is better than being right.
2. It pays to lie.
Very nice.
