Paddle craft Running & FitNews - Find Articles Paddle sports can be as basic as jumping in a sit-on-top kayak in a t-shirt and shorts and going for a spin around the reservoir. There are, of course, instances when a double-bladed paddle won't do: Whitewater rafts are too wide for a single paddle to make it all the way across; outrigger and dug-out canoes either have rigging that prevents the use of one paddle or weight too great to be powered by it. Even the heaviest synthetic-fiber raft paddles will be less than half the weight of a standard aluminum-and-plastic rental paddle, so whether you are serious about racing or simply want the most fun for the least effort during your day off on the lake, it is worth looking into a resin, fiberglass, or carbon paddle purchase. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0NHF/is_3_24/ai_n16819028   (923 words)

Ingraham v Wright The normal punishment was limited to one to five "licks" or blows with the paddle and resulted in no apparent physical injury to the student. If the punishment inflicted is later found to have been excessive - not reasonably believed at the time to be necessary for the child's discipline or training - the school authorities inflicting it may be held liable in damages to the child and, if malice is shown, they may be subject to criminal penalties. All the cases in other jurisdictions cited by the majority, involved allegations of punishment disproportionate to the misconduct with which the student was charged; none of the decisions even suggest that a student could recover by showing that the teacher incorrectly imposed punishment for something the student had not done. www.law.umkc.edu /faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/ingraham.html   (3917 words)

Advancing Women in Leadership Journal At that time, corporal punishment in schools was embedded in a larger context of state-sanctioned violence: masters whipped slaves and indentured servants; husbands beat wives; guards caned prisoners; officers flogged soldiers and sailors; mental asylums beat and caged the mentally ill; parents spanked children; and educators paddled students. The term “punishment” is derived from the Greek poine and its Latin derivative poena meaning revenge, the roots of the words pain, penalty, penitentiary, and penance. Paddling threatens the safety of schools and assaults the dignity of the human spirit. www.advancingwomen.com /awl/spring2003/LEE~1.HTML   (3463 words)

Anti Essays : : Corporal Punishment The paddling took place despite Pitcher\'s written request that Jacob be included on the school\'s \"no-swat list,\" a roster circulated to teachers listing students whose parents don\'t want their children paddled. Before corporal punishment was banned in the Canadian province, 85 percent of principals and half the teachers favored it; a few years after the practice was banned, however, researchers could find almost no one who would say they still supported paddling. If corporal punishment is banned and teachers can no longer rely on it for a quick solution, Pitcher notes, they\'ll be forced to get to know their students better and find the causes of their behavior. www.antiessays.com /print.php?eid=1809   (3132 words)

Sword - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Real swords can be used to administer various physical punishments: to perform either capital punishment by decapitation (the use of the sword, an honourable weapon on military men, was regarded a privilege) or non-surgical amputation. Similarly paddle-like sword-like devices for physical punishment are used in Asia, in western terms for paddling or caning, depending whether the implement is flat or round. The shinai, a practice sword, is also used in Japan as a spanking implement, more common in prized private extracurricular schools (illustrated in these 1975 and 1977 articles [2] and [3]) than the US school paddling; in fact hundreds of cases of illegal corporal punishment were reported from public schools as well. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sword   (3397 words)

Hardacre Hall The paddle was a traditional fraternity paddle, that - in past years - had been used in hazing ceremonies and brought many a rugged male student to tears, even when administered through thick woolen trousers. The paddle attacked ferociously, flattening the soft flesh, covering almost the entire surface of both buttocks in a single burning, scalding stroke that drew a squeal from the girl and set her bottom into frantic agitations to try to cope with the pain. With the paddle, Miss Skillings might attack one part of her seat more furiously than another (she did this by varying the angle at which she wielded the paddle-blade), but no part of her could escape being punished by each and every blow. hardacre.screaming.net /library/07_pamela_1.htm   (4482 words)

Rutherford looks at paddling policy - Wednesday, 10/20/04   (Site not responding.

Guideposts Archive Child corporal punishment is associated with elevated levels of societal violence and probably causes aggression and antisocial behavior on the part of the spanked child. Paddling, of course, is a type of severe spanking by a non-relative from which sexually mature teens are not exempt--even if they're legal adults. The paddling of a child to the point of being bruised and fearful of returning to school illustrates the lack of control that states have over their schools' disciplinary practices. nospank.net /posts.htm   (7344 words)
