Georgia school to reintroduce spanking in classrooms to discipline students
Shortly after sending the letters, the school said they received more than a hundred "consent to paddle" forms from the parents so far.
A Georgia charter school has reportedly brought back paddling in an effort to discipline its students after it sent letters to parents earlier this week seeking permission for the disciplinary action.
A local CBS affiliate reported that the Georgia School for Innovation and the Classics in Hephzibah sent letters to the parents asking them if the school teachers could spank the students with a wooden paddle.
The school's superintendent, Jody Boulineau, while talking to the local station said: "In this school, we take discipline very seriously. There was a time where corporal punishment was kind of the norm in school, and you didn't have the problems that you have."
