It is used mainly in elementary and junior high levels, with paddling performed by the principal in the presence of an adult witness, and careful records kept. The article cites various district stances, legal rulings, and parental reactions, including support, opposition, and lawsuits. It notes laws in California and Pennsylvania require parental consent or objections, while New York City and Buffalo ban paddling.
