    Physical punishment in schools is still a thing??? I had to endure that back in the 90s, but I thought for sure people would have figured out better ways to discipline kids by now.

      I got paddled in 4th grade (late 80s) for saying “bastard”. Wasn’t screaming it, wasn’t calling someone else a bastard, I just said it and I got two whacks for it. Yeah, that was fucking draconian.
