[quote:Anonymous Coward 73852373:MV80MTgxMDMyXzc2MDE5NDQ0X0U5M0YyOUE0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 78120150:MV80MTgxMDMyXzE1RUM5QkY=] 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. [/quote] I was 6 years old in 1970. Best I can tell, I was one to the first kids drugged with high doses of Ritalin. I was supposed to take 1 pill a day, but once my teachers (and adults in general) realized they could shut me off with those pills, I was fed that pill 2, 3 and 4 times a day! The foundation for our current social demise was laid in the late '50's and '60's! Most don't think of the '50's as a time of rebellion, but it was, "James Dean", the concept of "cool", sexual promiscuity was ramped up etc. Then "They" began to blatently kill our social order back in early '70's! By the '80's we moved into a full blown "feelings matter more than facts" paradigm! They also expertly manipulated society with self-worship...greed, consumerism...and we lapped it up like a dog!
