There’s something so uniquely humiliating about giving a class presentation in high school. If you’re underprepared, you look like an idiot and get a lousy grade.

The rulebook for disciplining kids in the classroom has been thrown out the window. Nobody wants to return to the days of Paddlin’ Peggy Hill for good reasons, but there has to be a compromise between spanking students for misbehavior and just letting it happen without consequence. Even the concept of an afterschool or lunchtime …
