In certain States Parents did not like their children being spanked at school.

If children were misbehaving or disobeying the teacher, the teacher would send them to the office and if the offense waranted it then the principal would administer a paddling..Corporal Punishment is still legal in 20 States in the US with signed parental consent. since 1971 (30) US States have discontinued corporal punishment in public schools other states have discontinued corporal punishment in private schools..

However in all 50 states in the US it is still legal for the parents to administer corporal punishment to their own children if it is done with reasonable force.
