He also believes that good hide-tannings are best when they come from someone like him who is close to the age of those scalawags he disciplines. Brandon knows them well, because he's been thru the same stuff himself when he, too, was getting out of line or getting into trouble with the law or at school or at home. He backs up his words with actions, if the scalawags fail to do what they are told. They can count on Discipline Counselor Brandon Monroe getting to their hides fast for misconduct of almost any kind.
Brandon tans hides very well.
Paddlings and spankings he gives to make those scalawags better in the future and to stop them repeating their negative attitudes and behavior. He shows the scalawags that he really cares for them no matter how many hide tannings he gives. He's there for them no matter what. When Brandon gives spankings, he spanks soundly. When he gives paddlings, he paddles perfectly.
