I think that my generation may have been the beginning of the end.
I remember, in Jr high, being sent home with a "corpral punishment waiver". In other words, if we could talk our parents into signing it, no more spanking at school.
Did my father sign it? Heck no. He told me " son, if the principal thinks that you need a spanking, he has my full support. And, when you get home you will get another from me"
Did I respect the principal? You bet your butt.
