Have they ever tried this in Rockford schools?

You know how kids sometimes act up in school? You'd like to give the little brats a swat, but the bleeding hearts in our society won't let you. They've got laws against that sort of thing , except maybe in some Southern states, where corporal punishment has long been a favorite pastime among teachers and parents alike.

When The Rascal went to Catholic school back in the Dark Ages, misbehavior in the fifth grade often would earn you a good beating from a certain nun who tended toward the sadistic. But it was worth the pain just to see how worked up she could get. Sometimes I'd intentionally invite a thrashing to relieve the boredom in a classroom where the only learning was self-administered. Sister wasn't much of a teacher. She just wandered about with the leg of a broken chair in her hand, looking for somebody to whack.

But I digress. What I wanted to mention here is this unique approach to dealing with misconduct they've tried at an elementary school down in Florida.
