[quote:Anonymous Coward 77252060:MV80MTgxMDMyXzc2MDE3NzU1XzY1QkFFMTE5] [quote:Deplorable Zenobia:MV80MTgxMDMyXzc2MDE3NjE3X0VFMUEyRjA2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 33132117:MV80MTgxMDMyXzc2MDE2MzEzXzU3MDA0RTkx] tell us another story about the olden days grandpa [/quote] Hehe...ok punk, this is 'grandma' here to relate a true story of one teacher in my public high school. Anyone who's an old Broughton High School (Raleigh, NC) alumni will either know firsthand or via historic legend about our old German language teacher, Herr Watt. The man was always dressed in an impeccable suit and tie. If he had a student fall asleep at their desk, Herr Watt would walk over, grab the desk and flip the offending student onto the floor. On test days or exam week, if you came to class dressed in your Sunday best, then you would receive extra credit put towards your test score. And woe be to the pair of students who decided to throw hands-n-feet in the hallway or outside if Herr Watt was in sight. Just the sight of him stalking over towards fight to intervene made stupid kids stop and run. Oh, what fond memories growing up in public school <sigh>. All of that was thrown out the door and shit has gone sideways so quickly. [/quote] Gay. [/quote]
Original Message
It was almost military-like. Standing up when a superior (teacher) walkedä in. Greetings (e.g. "Good morning, teacher!") were mandatory and the entire class would say it in unison. You always asked for a permission to speak. You did not leave the class until you were dismissed by the teacher.
You were punished if you forgot books or hadn't done your homework. Your mouth was washed with soap (really) if you cursed.
Back then nobody had ADHD or exhibited chronic bad behavior.
Most important of all, the parents didn't make excuses for their kids or tried to get special rules for their "special kid". Everybody was treated the same.
If you got good grades or the teacher commended you, you KNEW you had done a good job. No participation trophies back then.
