It certainly did the job back in our day – and I didn’t grow up to be a mass murderer. As I stated on Facebook…

Eldon Carper never needed permission to swat our butts back in the day when we got out of line. Hell – I wear it as a badge of honor nearly 60 years later. OH – did I mention – I had made that paddle in Homer Kirchhoff’s shop at Northbrook Junior High School – where Carper was the principle. STOP pussifying this generation.
