The Principlas of 50 years ago were not frightened of parents. They got backing from the School Board.
Today if aparent complains they all crap their jeans.
“The Principlas of 50 years ago were not frightened of parents. They got backing from the School Board.”
Maybe, but 39 years ago, when the principal at my small-town HS told my step-mom he was going to punish my brother for fighting back when he was attacked on the school ground, she said if he did, she would kick the S&&& out of him. It was a family rule not to start a fight, but if someone else started it, we’d get OUR butt kicked when we went home if we didn’t FINISH it.
Lil bro didn’t get punished after all. Step-mom is about 5’2’, blond & blue. Not very big. Tough enough to chew nails and spit bullets, though. Oh, and her dad was a bare-knuckles prize fighter in his youth, had no sons, so taught his daughters. She used to make the boys in the neighborhood play dolls with her...
Principal make a very SMART choice, that day.
