That old paddle is still used in some schools, just not near as often. I remember in 4th grade my teacher had 5-6 of us lined up in the hall, today the kids might get a note sent home. There are some occasions where I've seen our administrators pull out a paddle (of course they now have to have the parents permission). A few years ago we had one who used his paddle regularly and that school had the best behaved kids in our school system, he retired and now that school has the worst behaved kids in the system.
