Back then we could play outside all day long and completely unsupervised by adults. We were polite to adults and behave well, or our parents would hear about it and there would be hell to pay. [/quote] Yes! All the Moms in the neighborhood knew who each other were, and whose kids belonged to whom. If you misbehaved, not only would the other Moms call you on it, they'd call YOUR Mom and let her know what you did and how they handled it. The same with teachers. My folks NEVER took MY side, and any misbehavior in school resulted in a weekend from Hell full of pulling weeds and other onerous chores, no TV, and no talking to friends on the phone. [/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.
