This is "copy and paste" from the Do Right HAC page from Sherri Munger, one of the admins of the site.
I believe that what she has written is completely false, a huge exaggeration and she's trying to cast even a darker cloud over FBC and HB. Below is what she wrote:
Sherri Munger-Tyler "Linda M. Fossen, all the FBCH-owned and operated schools, clear up through high school, paddled with a large wooden paddle with holes drilled in it to increase the sting. I would imagine they still do. Teachers used their own forms of physical punishment, as well. Every teacher I had there punsihed students by making them hold their arms out, parallel to the ground, then piling encyclopedias on their hands. If their arms dipped, they were sent to the office for a paddling. Many teachers drew a small circle on the chalkboard just above the offending student's head. The student had to stand on tiptoe with nose in circle and if their nose came out of the circle, they were sent to the office for paddling. I never heard of anyone in the school system using a strap or belt, but others may have. During my time at the college, I never heard of a college student being paddled but students who attended HAC in more recent years have posted on this group about being paddled by staff members at the college for different offenses."
Can anybody agree with these statements? I attended all of HB schools and never have seen this done---and Sherri claims that "EVERY TEACHER" that she had used this form of discipline. (FYI--she only attended HBGS through the 6th grade.) Just weeks ago, she went off on anybody who thought that Linda Hyles' statements were a bit of exaggerating; now Sherri has gone off of the deep end.
I'd like to hear from other HBers,,,, Matt Richards, Smellin, etc
