They were called licks where I’m from. So much so that it wasn’t even called a paddling. It was called “licks” or “three licks.”

My brothers and I used to have this debate all the time. What was worse, the paddle at school or the belt at home? I always said the belt. But now I think I was comparing apples and oranges. The paddle at school was 3-5 licks over your jeans or shorts. The belt was as much as dad thought you needed it, and there was those couple times that I even got that on my bare skin. So yeah the belt was worse!

10 licks! I heard about those days from my dad, but you couldn’t get more than five a day where I came from.

I was paddled with a paddle with holes in it before. But when I was in 7th grade, the Parish passed a paddling policy and one of the rules was no more paddles with holes.

What’s a “big women paddle”?

I guess it’s all relative. When I tell some guys that, they’re like, “You must’ve been bad!” But I actually wasn’t. Between principals, assistant principals, teachers, and coaches all having the right to paddle — and 12 years of going to school every day — I think that’s not that bad. Especially since you by the time you got to junior high, you had six teachers a day.

Now that’s funny. How old are you, just to get a point of reference? Trying to figure out if this kept happening after I “grew up,” and if so, how long.

I feel like every guy that grew up in the South has those stories.
Paddled in School
Posted by Smithtrace1996 on 2/8/26 at 6:48 am
I’m just curious — do they still do this? I went to public schools in northeast Louisiana in the 1980’s and 1990’s and got no less than 15 paddlings in my 12 year school career. I checked, and Louisiana is actually one of the few states left in the country where it’s still legal. But is it even happening?
