Where did you grow up?

It was definitely illegal for teachers to assault students in California when I was a kid in the 80s.

    Rockford, Chicago, Tallahassee, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Mississippi, Texas and finally Arkansas. Now that I am reading that sentence I am reminded of that animaniacs song.

    Corporal punishment was also opt-out at my elementary school in Virginia in the early 2000s, maybe late 90s? I don't really remember which school year it was, just that one teacher in particular had multiple paddles engraved with her name and speed holes, and I did witness them used on classmates
