Nope.  Even when I was that young, if they would have hit me with a ruler, I probably
would have yanked it out of their hand and beat them back.  Up until senior year in
HS, I was always a bit large for my age ;-)

And my parents, while probably grounding me, probably would have semi-supported me
fighting back over such an idiotic teaching method.  Luckily I never got anywhere near
any religious schools, where that (at least used to be) was more prevalent.

Did that include beating your hands with a ruler if you wrote with your left
hand, Tom? That's what happened to my bf, who is left handed but still writes
(very slowly and badly) with his right.
