You know, I don't want anyone to think I am bitter

I understand. I hesitate to say some of the things because of that so I know you aren't bitter. I'm happy w/the education I received. But exchanging war stories is enlightening. Actually, listening to the nose in the board, under the desk and the pencil reprimands - I think I had it better than you.

I think I started school at the end of the era of the rulng-wielding nuns :-) I never once heard of anyone in 12 years striking a child. The public school kids would tell horror stories of the paddle with the holes in it but not in my school. And I am also very grateful for my education.
