Why would a teacher spank her student?


I know I'm going out on a limb here trying to rationalize this crazy concept, but that scene made NO sense to me. I've been an English teacher for 15 years and I have yahoos like Adam who snooze all the time. A little slap to the desk and they'll pop up soon enough...no biggie. However...featuring a pregnant woman with an odd desire to "spank" her student for each year of his birthday as a covert method for reforming him was a bit odd to me, Larry Clark. Most of us just opt to fail the little geniuses who decide not to work, like normal people.

I think she was a bit kinky.

Your question leads me to believe you've never watched a Larry Clarke film before. That scene only exists so Larry can get off on watching it be filmed.

^this pretty much

The whole movie seemed like a poor excuse for Clark to film teenagers in sexual positions



A good father and a good outlaw can't settle inside the same man.

I'm from Texas and my parents always had to sign a release for corporal punishment. This was only something they did when we were in elementary school, but I don't think I would do over well if they tried to do this to high school kids, especially if there was no one else to monitor what the teacher was doing.

A 16 year old kid shouldnt be alone with a teacher getting spanked, but she also shouldn't have stuck her hands down her top them rubbed breast milk all over her stomach while he was in there.

Corporal punishment was a very real thing back in the day. There was no written permission needed. The catch is you got smacked at school and then by your parents at home. I know this from talking to my parents and various other people there age.
