Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire ADHD cured in 3 licks

I remember this happening on the first day of school. PE and shop teachers got new paddles.

I feel sorry that you have to have teachers like that. Most of those around here are pretty conservative and I have yet to get the impression they would be like described.

I was in 11th grade and had Coach Allen for Algebra and Trig. Most of the coaches were kind of dumb but Coach Allen had a degree from Ga. Tech and he was, needless to say, very smart.
Of course Coach Allen had a "board" and used it frequently, and I got it laid across my ass about five times in 2 years.

One day in class, Coach Allen told about some high school boys got real naughty one night. About 11 pm he was awakened by the sound of someone trenching his yard.
Coach Allen told us that he ran right out there with the 12 gauge. Of course, the car full of students hauled ass. What they didn't know, Coach Allen lived on a dead-end street. He told us, he just stood there by the mailbox waiting for them to come back. In a minute the terrified punks came roaring back at 80 mph.

Coach Allen told us, he didn't want to hit the boys, just wanted to scare them, and he just was firing bird shot, he waited until they got past and he gave them both barrels in the trunk. He said he knew it wouldn't penetrate into the passenger area.
And he told us, that was the last time his yard got trenched.

Whacking naughty boys with the wooden paddle, shooting the car of naught boys with the 12 gauge. It was a different time.

Just jogged my memory of another paddling I got at school. Me and my negro buddy “Jewell-T” in 4th got busted for wrapping the swings and chains up around the overhead bar. It was hilarious at the time, not so much getting the seat warmed up in the office. Columbus, Ga.

Now why would you say that?

Oh, wait. I see who the poster is. Nevermind. Sorry. I'll tell the jokes slower next time.

Never so much as a hand laid on me by a teacher, though I deserved it a few times. Made a few trips to the principal's office, that was typically met w/spankings @ home. My most serious offenses in school were general smart-assery nothing malicious or that would've hurt another student.

Kids are 8 and 12. Teachers are told at orientation that if there is poor behavior we want to know ASAP and don't let things "build/slide". I have 0 problem w/stern language to set one of my kids straight should they need it however, true "Discipline" will be handled at home. 8yr old occasionally has trouble keeping to herself when she finishes assignments before the other kids, I "suffered" the same issue. My answer to youngest daughter's teachers is the same as my dad's was to mine, "Assign her additional work."

Kids are just about through 6th and 2nd grade. To date, they've both gotten excellent teachers.

Worst beating I ever took was 8th grade after a couple of us put crazy glue in the[older] math teachers seat.
When she stood the chair came with her.....
Took another good one at home that night.

Our Mechanical Drawing teacher was also the Shop teacher and he had a paddle with the name “Board of Direction “ burned into the wood and he used it when called for.

I say if you feel that poorly about the teachers in your kids schools, then you are failing your kids by making them go there! Put them in a school that meets your apparently high standards.

If you want a job done right, do it yourself.

i remember one of my middle school year book one of the first pics was of a classmate with the principal's paddle rared back and ready to go. Good time. I always remember the kids that had to get one and came back in the classroom cryin.

We had a line of red tip shrubs along the driveway. Dad would make us pick out our own switch. Worst thing was when you put your hands in the way and got hit on the arms. Learned quick.

I knew a morman kid that got whipped with an actual bull whip. He was riding home with us from baseball practice and told us about it. I don't know if my dad confronted hhis dad about it or not...but they moved back to Utah shortly after.

I’d argue you are much more so. If your kid gets so out of line at school you’ve failed to instill morales and respect in that at home. Relying on teachers to “parent” is the real crime here if you want to call it that. Parents are more responsible for the education and opportunities for their kids than teachers are as well. Dropping little Johnny off somewhere to do your 9-5 then hit a social event or something isn’t parenting. The biggest failing is the lack of real parents.

I agree with Paul 100%. I’d be front page international news if an adult touched one of my kids. That’s because I’ve raised my kids to have manners, respect, and responsibility from day 1. If an adult disciplines my child it would be without merit and my kids in general seem to have better manners and integrity than most adults I meet.


Funny, you look at social media posts and everyone shows how much they do coaching kids for the big game but when Covid hit they’d just “die” if they had to teach Math. Most parents are as much to blame for indoctrinated kids as teachers are. If you talk to your kids and not at them you might have some influence in their lives.

This.

My kid graduated at the top of his class of 400+. Shot on the trap team in high school. Goes to a major university that accepted 8% of their applicants for their top rated business school He holds 3 jobs right now starting the day exams were over. Not bragging, but it's in the parenting. He isn't perfect, but I couldn't ask for much more.

If that fat pig hit my 6 year old with a board, she'd have to go home and explain to her dyke wife why that board was stuck sideways in her fat gash.

Of course you wouldn’t because your kids, like all the kids today, are special and nearly perfect.

It is funny though, that the generation of school disciplined kids was so much better than these losers parents are turning out now.

Got caught in high school band practice drinking wine out of a bota bag that I had dropped down the bell of my Sousaphone (marching type tuba) and run a long plastic tube down by the mouthpiece. The other tuba player and I were enjoying a little vintage Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill and it didn't occur to us that my horn sounded like sheit! The band director noticed, however and when he discovered the "obstruction" he went to work on our azzes. He was a little Jewish guy with "little man syndrome" and was notorious for his paddling. He had a custom 3/4" thick paddle with beveled 1/4" holes drilled in it. After he finished, your azz looked like you'd been sitting on a sheet of pegboard for an hour.
When we were practicing marching formations he used to carry the paddle under his arm like you would a riding crop and slip up behind whoever was fugging off and bust the hell out of them with it.
Managed to get him back somewhat though. In the last high school football game I ever played in, I was run out of bounds returning a kick and mowed him over and knocked the breath out of him. Ruined his all-white suit and broke his goofy glasses too....Mr. Stanley Leopold-R.I.P.

For a teacher the first line of defense IS the parents, or should be. Phone calls usually work.

If young Johnny has a parent or parents worthy of the name he doesn’t want his misbehavior getting back to his folks. If young Johnny has a pi$$-poor parent or parents they still don’t want the hassle.

Plus that way everything gets documented early on.

If Johnny keeps misbehaving his parents get called in. Generally this mostly happens with bad parents, and they hate that hassle and time out of their day even more than phone calls.

Mostly though you just want a negative consequence for the kid. Doesn’t have to be a big negative consequence, in fact it’s better if it ain’t. Detention for example, a half hour out of our day is nothing, at their age it’s hassle enough that it ain’t worth getting it.

Actually, the best teachers hardly ever have to send a kid to the office, their classroom is a place kids want to be.

Can’t imagine beating a high school kid would work, didn’t work with us as kids. After you’ve hit ‘em and they’ve shrugged it off, what then?

You never got it hard enough if you shrug it off. I know of a guy that would hit you so hard, you’d get a speeding ticket going through Denver.

You don’t forget that kind of behavioral modification.

It dont work on some people.

Hell, I would have had BIG problems if Dad had ever learned I had given a teacher cause to discipline me.
