Who Was Paddled At School?

[txspanker]

I was never spanked at school because I was a good boy then. But I do remember in high school 2 of our usual "getting-in-trouble, ex-football players that had been kicked off the team" suspects being taken out in the hall by a very attractive female african-american substitute teacher that would not tolerate disrespect. I can't remember exactly what the 2 suspects were doing, but I know the paddling was warranted. The teacher asked the 2 to go into the hall; she then had to get another teacher to witness, as that was the custom. As the whole class sat smiling at each oth er, the distict sound of whack-whack-whack pause whack-whack-whack could be heard reverbating in the hall. The door then opened and as the two suspects returned, there was a notable watering of the eyes. As everyone held in their laughter or fear in some cases, class resumed as if nothing had happened.

That was in my junior year and that's the last spanking at school that I actual heard.

Txspanker notes in his post the mood/reaction of the class when the involved parties were outside of the room. Despite a teacher's admonitions to do so, no study or other serious endeavor was ever accomplished while a paddling was in progress, especially in the classroom but not out in the hall either. The difference was that when it was in the hall as soon as the teacher had left the room the class began doing as he said-smiling at each other, exchanging loud whispers on the event-in-progress, everyone keeping their ears super-tuned to the proceedings outside, waiting to hear the first swat land. And then, as soon as the last one was given, immediately adopting a serious look and being perfectly silent as the miscreants and the dispenser of justice returned to the room.

Of course, if YOU were the one on the spot and being marched up front or outside, besides being pretty anxious about what was going to happen, you were also acutely aware that every eye and ear was upon you.

Hmmm...that certainly gives a different take on the unofficial state song of Texas, doesn't it?! I can see a just-paddled offender walking back into the room while the class softly hums, "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You."

I got paddled at school more times than I can count. I grew up in Oklahoma and in the late 60s and early 70s, they were big-time paddlers in school.

The most I ever remember getting at one time was 3 or 4. That's the reason why in our "Paddled At School" videos, we usually do 3 good swats. It was the norm at schools that paddled.

I don't remember having erotic feelings at the time about being punished like that. BUT..there's no question I had erotic feelings about it as early as the sixth grade when I got to kind of semi-witness 2 girls in my sixth grade gym class gets swats from our lesbian gym teacher! I didn't know why I found that fascinating, but I sure did. That particular day created a monster!

Were girls paddled much in your junior high and high school?

And tell us the story about the paddling of those two girls by the gym teacher. What happened and what did you see?

[garyspk]

Well, I'm convinced that witnessing that paddling was the beginning of my realization that I had the fetish...even before I knew what the word "fetish" meant!

Here's what happened. 4 of us (2 boys and 2 girls) got in trouble for breaking the rules during a game of "bean bag spin." This was basically dodgeball with bean bags and we played it in our school during gym class on occasion. The 6th grade lesbian gym teacher gave us the choice of taking swats or staying after school. We all chose the swats. My male friend and I went first. She literally took a running start and gave us either 2 or 3 licks. I can't remember the exact amount. But I do remember they stung. She dismissed the 2 of us and told the girls to come in. Well, my friend went on out in the hall to his next class and I kind of lingered around (imagine that!).

The way the gym teacher's office was configured, there was actually a "holding" office before you got to her actual office. Then you left and went out in the big gym. Well, she took the girls in together. This was the late sixties and at my school, they would not let girls wear pants yet.

So the teacher had one girl stand to the side and made the other one bend over, put her hands on the teacher's desk and lift the back of her skirt! And while I unfortunately did not get to SEE that, I definitely heard the instructions given...to both girls...and heard the actual swats hit. They weren't as loud as ours were, because we had more padding.

After the 2nd girl got her swats, I bolted out to the hall as I didn't want to get caught snooping. The girls came out, were a bit teary and were rubbing their butts. I still remember their names, Ann and Cindy.

Anyway, this was a pretty big deal for me, a just-starting-puberty 6th grader. And while I saw quite a few paddlings at school in the late 60s and 70s, this one had a huge impact on me. And that's an absolutely 100% true story, BTW.

RG, to answer your question, for every 10 boys that got paddled, 1 girl would get it. It was easily a 10:1 ratio.

Great account, Gary!

Now follow that one up and tell us about the most memorable paddling that you ever personally received, since you're apparently well experienced from your school days.

[garyspk]

Well RG, the one I remember that HURT the most was in the 9th grade.

I was in the boys' gym class and we were swimming that particular day in school. Our school had a pool. Anyway, we were playing a game of water polo and I happened to dunk this really obnoxious cocky punk 7th grader. The gym coach did not see the humor in that at all.

I had to get out of the pool and this gym coach made me grab my ankles and gave me one really hard lash with his whistle strap over my wet swim trunks. And I'm telling you, that freakin' hurt! LOL. This was the 70s in Oklahoma and they still did stuff like that.

The usual procedure was to send you to the office, where the school principal, or counselor, or whoever gave you about 3 swats with a wooden paddle over your pants.

Hello All:

The moderator kindly invited me to join, and I've just spent some time going through the posts on school paddling. I see a couple of old friends here, including RG who is very familiar with the story of how a friend and I each received five licks in high school shortly before my 18th b-day in 1993.

It was interesting to see a story in the Raleigh News & Observor a few weeks back stating that 70% of school districts in North Carolina continue to paddle in this Year of Grace MMVI. I had no idea it was that many.

In all events, I am looking forward to participating in this forum.

BTW, I am confident RG will concur that my senior year paddling was wholly undeserved. He will, I am confident, attest that Yours Truly personifies all the virtures of Southern Womanhood and ought *never* to have found myself poking my tender, tremulous fanny (_|_) outward & upward in the straining denim of faded Wranglers for those five licks administered by a crabby female AP.
