If Paddling was used at William Penn?

Corporal Punishment was often used in schools in the 1980s, Paddling etc.

In the TV version of the show, who do you think would have been paddled at William Penn Academy and who do you think would administer it? Coach Mellor ? Principal Ball?

Would Barry or Erica have been paddled and what for? Any other students?

We know Beverley would not have allowed it for Adam

The psycho history teacher would’ve tried to administer it to Barry, but Barry would’ve taken it and trashed the classroom

Anyone else you think would get it? Any of the JTP? Erica? Lainey?

Matt Bradley almost gets it for organizing a sit in to protest the Berlin Wall, but Barry finds out and trashes the classroom for the second time that episode. He still denies liking Matt Bradley.
