I got the wooden spoon.  Sometimes the belt.  BUT...I spent 3rd grade living in Alabama (moved from North Dakota).  Made the mistake of bringing my Yahtzee dice to school one day and my teacher accused me of shooting craps.  I was 8 years old and had no idea what shooting craps was.  Didn't matter, went to principal's office he told me to pick a paddle.  He had a whole closet of them because once you came to see him a second time you had to make your own paddle.  Think wooden plank kind of like a narrow cutting board very similar to the fraternity paddles I saw in college.  He was a nice enough guy to advise me "I wouldn't pick one with holes if I were you." 5 whacks and I couldn't sit down the rest of the day.   My mother went ballistic made several 4 letter threats that fell on deaf ears.  Was probably one of the reasons we only lived there one year in addition to the fact that we were told by our minister that we would not be allowed to rent an apartment within the city limits because my mother was unmarried and unmarried women with children would not find anyone to rent them an apartment.  Interesting folk live down there.  That said, I'll wait until more info is determined.
