Bill O'Rights · 05-16-2003, 07:42 AM

Class of 1980

We had corporal punishment (paddlings, for the uninitiated of you), in-school-suspension (detention), and out-of-school suspension. The choice was not ours except that the punishment was meted out relative to the crime. And yes, I was paddled (putting a thumbtack on a teachers seat)

and received detention (caught with "tobacco products" on school property)

And this may be the old fogey in me comin' out, but I think that we were <b>much</b> better behaved than the kids are now. If nothing else, respect for authority was <i>beaten</i> into us.
