Actually, CE, I went to a school with yelling, shaming, AND assault and battery. Went for a whole week and a half partway through the 4th grade. I was ever so grateful when my mother had the good sense to pull me out and put me back in the public school I loved. Never did get my uniforms.

Eddie: Wow, your school was awesome. No yelling, no tension in the air, and I assume no assault and battery either? Or maybe that was just because you were a girl


I started first grade in 1954, and went to seven schools, graduating from high school in 1966. And no, there were NO discipline problems, no crime, no tension. Four of those years were at schools on base and believe me, there were NO discipline problems. Five of those years were at Catholic schools and back then nuns were right next to God in terms of authority (where students were concerned, they were right above the Pope \:\) ). Parents did not generally question teachers' authority and I feel very fortunate that my whole school life was orderly and so much more nurturing than my home life. I'm still close friends with one of my high school teachers. A few years ago I contacted my seventh grade teacher (found him on the internet) and I received a lovely letter from him (he not only remembered me, he said "you always were a good writer" :beaming smile:), and he sent me a fruitcake for Christmas! Not a comment on my character, I hope.

I'd hate to be a kid in school these days. Kids today have to deal with things that I didn't even know about til I was an adult. The first time I ever heard the word fcuk wasn't until I was in high school. Innocent? Yes, and I'm very thankful for that. We got to be kids.
