W earing extra underwear did not help, when John Phipps , my 6th grade principal,decided one needed a paddling.He would point out an offender, and say; 'were gonna play hotty'. We had to grab our ankles and hold on while his 'board of education' did its job . I cant remember him ever paddling a girl.Maybe he got one of the lady teachers to do the job for him. Some teacher were worse than others about getting homework on time. Some resorted to the 'board of education', while others did not.Anyway, I made sure my homework was handed in when Mr. Phipps was my teacher. Shelby PS; This same Mr Phipps gave me a shirt for winning the school spelling contest. ************************************** Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.

Cruel for sure, Mother went to elementary at Mt Gay early 1930's. I do not know what the crime was but the punishment was she had to sit underneath the teachers(a woman) desk! Mother said her legs were fat and ugly and she could see her rolls of fat. She said it was the worse thing she ever had to do in her entire life. Who would have ever heard of punishment like that???? I was a child when mother told us and I remember crying for her.
