I used to go to a school that would hit us with a paddle if we misbehaved. There was a paddle called "Big Red" and "Big Blue".
Depending on the severity of our behavior, we would get hit by one of them! Sometimes there would even be a school assembly and students would get spanked in front of the entire school!
But I don't recall it looking this cruel, then again I was the one getting hit. Now as an adult, this looks way too extreme and I would NEVER allow a principal or ANYONE to hit my kids.
