I was thinking the same thing.
I can’t remember my parents ever coming to my high school. I know they came to my graduation, but other than the initial visit in eighth grade and graduation I don’t think they ever came to school.
My mom came to school ONCE, in third grade and Sister Noreen Therese told her to go home. Only other time a parent came to school was when a kid raised his hand to hit Sister Mary Robert. She slapped him, not missing a beat, lefts and rights, down the aisle, across the back, up the aisle, out the door and down three flights of stairs to the Principal’s Office.
The next day, his father brought him to school, a little ashamed and a little worse for wear. The father made him apologize to Sister Mary Robert, the class and the Principal. Then he told his son that if it ever happened again, he would kill him!
