 Bama: I'm a tad older than you, and in high school there was no corporal punishment except to tell your father. Had your shop teacher tried that schtick on one of the Donovan or MacDonald or Heinemann boys, he'd be shopping for a bridge.

This was in a decidedly rural area in an era when the worst thing you could do to a kid was to complain to his father. No teacher touched a kid, ever. Some dropped out when they couldn't stomach school any more, but no kid ever challenged a teacher in my six years of high school. (That's a joke, son.)
