I grew up in central West Virginia. I went to public school through the 9th grade, and my parents put my sister and me in a private Catholic School, even though we were not Catholic. The teachers were nuns and priests with a few lay teachers as well. Unlike public school, bullying and horseplay was not tolerated and I got a great education that prepared me for college afterwards. I still am in touch with my classmates who I dearly love.

when I was in grade school all the classrooms rooms had a small, unisex toilet. The only problems we had was the lock. It was old and kids would lock themselves in.

The nuns were fearsome. In my school it was the Sisters of Charity and no one crossed them without paying a price. One nun kept a class of 135 restless 3rd graders focused on whatever was being taught, without the smallest breach of discipline.

When I was in high-school, teachers routinely grabbed kids by the neck and chokced them- parents didn’t sue back then either- they rather disciplined their kids for having acted out

Saw one cafeteria worker jump,across the counter, up onto the line of tables, run across the tables, food flying every which way, and tackled 2 students who were fighting. He had one kid in a chockehold until the kid calmed down. Saw another kid get yanked off a stage and chocked out nearly by another teacher. Another shop class kid was being a dink toward the teacher who walked yp to him and grabbed him by the neck- the kid froze, not expecting it.
