Tim discusses a Missouri school district reviving corporal punishment/paddling for discipline, questioning whether paddling or drugging kids are really the only two options society has left.

In this bit5 moments
  • Tim describes Missouri as an interesting place, but qualifies that he doesn't care if locals are offended since he's not going to pretend to like everywhere.
  • Missouri school districts are bringing back corporal punishment—striking students on the buttocks with wooden paddles, with a witness present and supposedly without causing bodily injury.
  • Tim calls the policy insane and describes it as a symptom of the country falling apart, leading to teachers hitting kids with paddles.
  • He argues children can be disciplined without hitting them with a paddle and questions whether this is really the only alternative.
  • Tim's conclusion: in the supposed greatest country in the world, the only options for dealing with children are either attacking them with a paddle or drugging them with medication.
