When I was in high school, you didn’t mouth off or you got slapped for your troubles.

One day, a punk decided he was going to belt one of the teachers and got the crap knocked out of him.

The teacher did not get fired or in trouble.

Good old days.

When I was in Jr. High we had a male teacher that used to slam kids up against the wall. I was told one parent complained but nothing was ever done about it. Today he’d be sued into oblivion.

In all fairness he was a jerk. He tried teaching at the local college and lost his cool there. They booted him.

I went to Catholic schools 1-12, so there was absolutely no tolerance for students acting up. I distinctly remember the principal hitting a troublemaker in front of the assembled senior class one time. Nothing happened to the principal.

But my public school friends would talk about some of their teachers getting rough with miscreants. This was back in the sixties. In those days neither the public nor private schools tolerated crap from students. Times change.
