[quote:Anonymous Coward 78149215:MV80MTgxMDMyXzc2MDE5NTA1X0ZCOTZCNjAx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 33132117:MV80MTgxMDMyXzc2MDE2MzEzXzU3MDA0RTkx] tell us another story about the olden days grandpa [/quote] If you wanted to go somewhere, anywhere, you could just stand at the side of the road and someone would pick you up and 8f you were broke and they weren't they'd likely buy you something to eat. Cops would often pick you up and carry you as far as they were patrolling and sometimes even ask the next jurisdiction to give you a ride and if it was cold they'd let you sit on their patrol car or even sleep at the station. And if you were armed no one cared unlike the brainwashed generations of today. [/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.
