One the most memorable spankings in my mind is one that I was not a part of, lucky for me. It was in 1968, when I was in third grade, and I got to witness a teacher, Mrs Verett, administering correction to a misbehaving fourth grade girl.
I had misbehaved the day before in class and the teacher said I would not get to go to recess for the rest of the week. Instead, I would have to work in the library, helping the librarian.
