Between the 6th and 8th grade, I bet I got paddled 12 to 15 times. Got lit up pretty good a few of those times. Several times they put a lock on my locker, forcing me to carry all my books around all day. In the end, they won. Mr Fox (Principal) and my Dad saw to it. I was as broke as Cool Hand Luke when they got done with me. Today I have much respect for all involved in correcting my behavior. I got what I deserved.
