Gee, we used to be shamed in class in front of our peers. It didn’t hurt us at all. Instead what it made you do was work harder to not be singled out for ridicule. So I disagree with your assertion that it was not good at all. Coddling the children is what has gotten us to the place we currently are with our educational system.
The youth of today do not have the strength of character to withstand this what we did. That is not what the Dept of Education has been grooming them for.
Unless youth have strong & good parents, good friends and a faith community they have no solid foundation upon which to build their character.
All we get is school shooters.
