She would march the student into the hall and then a few minutes later you would hear the sound of the swats because they echoed throughout the classroom. When a paddling was being administered everyone would listen intensely and then look at each other and smile. Ms Preston would return and then minutes later the student would return with a very red face. I always wondered what went on out in the hall. How it all went down. I was never paddled in school myself as I was terrified as to what might happen when I got home. Besides, it was very embarrassing and humiliating to be paddled at school.
