The death of liberty.
The death of liberty.
I used to like getting hugs from my Kindergarten teacher.
They were innocent and she hugged everyone.
But, she was a nice looking lady. I did not mind one bit.
If she did that now, she would be getting judged by this crowd at FR....And she was NOT Guilty by any standard.
shucks, i use to go out dove hunting before class in HS in AZ. always kept the shotgun in the trunk of the car. never a problem.
that was in late 60’s early 70’s.
every once in awhile, i would be late for class, if the hunting was good. sometimes early, when i ran out of shells.
can’t imagine what would happen nowdays.
Blessings, bobo
1957 - Crowd gathers. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up buddies.
I've heard old people, or rather really old people, as I'm gray in the beard now myself, spout this nonsense before. What gave rise to these myths? I remember fights from high school, and no one shook hands afterwards. In at least two memorable instances the loser left in an ambulance and the winner was hauled off to jail. I can't think of a single instance where the loser felt good enough to stand up on his own and shake hands.

If you got paddled by the principal or his secretary, you didn't dare tell anybody at home because if you did, your mom or dad would hit you even harder.
Don't remember any discipline problems in that school. When I got to junior high school, it was the start of the 1970s and a whole different world. By time I got to high school in the late 1970s, it was like "Welcome Back Kotter" with the inmates running the asylum. Every class was disrupted by punk kids in leather jackets and nobody learned a damn thing.
“Crowd gathers. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up buddies.”
Happened to me. Laid a dude out...we were buddies afterwards.
He and a buddy skipped (high) school to go out to the dump to shoot rats. Truant officer catches them, takes them to the principal's office.
The principal says "Boys, I have two questions: Where did you get the ammunition (early days of WWII), and why didn't you ask me to go along?"
A lot of this culture can be changed. For example, though many Americans had lost their family gun culture, they are getting it back remarkably fast now that guns are again seen as being necessary for honest citizens.
It will be a big jump to reintroduce orderly gun culture back to schools, however. While the old style rifle clubs were entertaining or hunting oriented, schools today need to provide for handgun education.
Oddly enough this will need a lot of classroom to do it right, not just range firing. It could and should be a serious class, not just an easy credit hour.
2011 - schools criticized for being authoritarian and tyrannical.
1957 - schools criticized for being permissive and letting standards drop.

Johnny falls off his bicycle and breaks his arm.
1957 - Johnny is taken to the hospital where his arm is x-rayed, set and placed in a cast. 6 weeks later, cast is removed and life goes on.
2011 - After the hospital visit, Johnny's parents take him to a lawyer who initiates a lawsuit against Schwinn claiming that bicycles are dangerous unstable vehicles and should not be marketed to children. Schwinn settles out of court for an outrageous sum of money. Congress passes a bill outlawing 2-wheeled vehicles for anyone under the age of 18.
There’s a really big site called “Say No To Psychiatry,” with a big section devoted just to abuses in education.
Psychiatry is a field that needs to see a psychiatrist. These people are so hostile.
