Like Valsdad and Ranger Green, I attended parochial school.
The paddlings, I could handle with no problem - but I believe the reason my knuckles are all swollen is due to those damned rulers applied for inattention or mischief!!!

Heavy paddle, usually 6 licks, do push-ups in the hall between periods with everyone walking by, & the worst, detention, pick up rocks off playground, miss the bus & the long walk home


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I went to Catholic grade school and high school. I can remember the rulers on the fingers and I still have bumps on my head from getting whacked by the nuns Jesus Mary and Joseph ring

We had a skip day when I was a senior at a county park. About a three day kegger. The priest that ran the high school came out about the middle of the second day. He got thrown in the river

A boomer story: My uncle got in trouble for mouthing off and the teacher applied the wooden ruler to the knuckles treatment. She smacked his hands so hard that the end of the ruler broke off in her hand. He picked up the other end of it and slapped her across the face with it. My grandmother laughed about that one to her dying day.

We has a dunce cap in one of my elementary school classes. Second grade I think. We offenders got marched to the back of the room and sat in a stool with it perched upon our heads. That was 1977 or so. She was an old fat cow who didn’t like the boys much; especially the roudy ones.

Right

Right


So I extended the dunce cap era to those communities that may have transcended into the boomer era. 😃

And additionally since we have dudes that were 30 years old in the 1970s that have never heard of Foghat, I thought of them and the one-room schoolhouse analogy.

Like I’m sure Salmon Idaho is now getting punk kids with souped up Saturns with NOPI stickers.

Yep. 5th grade, 1967 or 68, our teacher(male) used them. 1 or 2 kids wore them about every day for one reason or another. He had 2 of them. I remember one time he needed a 3rd, so used a 1 gal tin can.

Then in 6th grade, we and another male teacher. Of course there was a no gum chewing in class rule. He caught a kid chewing, so he made the kid spit the gum out on a piece of paper the teacher was holding. The teacher then smacked the gum right on top of the kid's head. Funny as hell at the time. Awe how times have changed! grin

That aint nothing.
I had a big teacher in forth grade that must've been having a PMS day. She hauled off and punched me with her fist. This wasn't martial arts class either. 😄

Nope. Put your desk in the corner and then make you run laps around the room.

X’er. No dunce caps. But Catholic high School in The 80’s. Xaverians. Seen a kid get picked up square in his desk and tossed out in the hall, desk and all, violently, by a perennially pissed off ‘brother’. Guy kicked the door open too, like a SWAT move. Incredible. Seen all level of upside-the-heads and humiliation practices. But, the BEST move I ever saw was by a lay-teacher - The Blue Dot. This guy would come up to you, and eye ball you, then quick-as-Schitt he’d clutch your nose in his fist between the knuckles of his index and middle fingers, and give it a vicious squeeze. Took an hour or two to really show, but for at least three days after you were walking around looking like Rudolph The Blue Nosed Reindeer. Just look like a jackass

Lol

We had full inclusion for Physical Education and Wood shop, exploratory ‘fun’ classes.


So we had two retards in our gyms class. Full blown, clinical.


Dude was like 20 years old, 6ft - 3”, 200 lbs lol

Had some sweet karate moves or maybe it was a “tic”


Poor guy would NEVER bring his report card back. Deal was coach would let all the boys have a total do-nothing whatever day if a majority brought report cards back the next day.

One extra day he would bark and grumble

After that you was on the sheeit list.

David the retard was on about Day-5, coach says “get over there and do squat thrusts till your tongue hangs out”

Retard strength. David went all period. 😃😃

Next day same chit

Come to find out his groid “social worker” minder-tender was hanging onto them for some reason. JFC, poor kid

Damn, our grade school PE teacher just made us play kickball outside regardless of temperature so he could chain smoke Winstons.

Our coach took a bullet to the forehead after he retired. Working at his fireworks stand in a walmart parking.

2 car loads of groids were having a shoot out in the parking lot about 100 yards away.
