I hope not. I always find something new in your poems.

No one gets to rank those spankings anymore, but look what we are left with.

Back to the woodshed with the belt, I say! (O.K., not really). But without the fear of it, chaos reigns --- like today.

I can remember grade school was a ruler/hand you got hit with. In 5th grade a kid would Not stop talking. The teacher hit him in the mouth with her ring/broke off 2 teeth. The parents almost killed him. Today the teacher/school would be sued. He never talked again. Junior High was a paddle. If bad, then parents would kill you. Maybe we should go back to days of old. Have a fun/blessed day writing away...................

Yup. I remember back when parents (almost) always backed the teacher. Now the teacher is 'public enemy #1 -- although the 'woke teachers' deserve to be, the 'normal' teachers face nothing but grief: The parents attack them, and the administration throws them under the bus. Glad I got out of that racket! ~ gw
