Can students get paddled in school?

Corporal punishment in schools, including paddling, is illegal in many countries and in many states within the United States. Even where it's not explicitly illegal, its use is increasingly restricted and often requires parental consent and adherence to strict procedures.

Therefore, while it might be legal in some very specific locations, it's not a common or widespread practice in the vast majority of schools around the world. The legal landscape and school policies regarding corporal punishment are constantly evolving, so the answer depends heavily on the specific location.
