i'm not that old...but i remember the days back in high school (late 80's early 90) when you could get into a fist fight in the halls and get detention...or if someone REALLY got hurt...you could get 'whiteroom'. multiple offenses of fighting eventually warranted a one or two day suspension.
smoking/dipping in the boys room...punishable by harsh language, detention at worst.
drinking on school grounds, or coming to school with alcohol on the breath...they'd send you home, care of your parents, and slap you with white room or saturday school.
foul language...pretty much overlooked...unless directed at a teacher/administrator, then you probably would get detention and/or white room.
i am SO glad i got out of high school when i did. public high schools are prison camps for learning. its really unbelieavable what goes on there now.
