what a different world we live in today 6 of the best never hurt anybody, but not sure if it helped either
KIds are still doing the same things today as we did, and as our parents did before that. We handle the kids differently but the issues continue. What next mmmmmmmmm.....

I reckon two chances........ three strikes = sterilisation.......... four strikes = capital punishment
that will stop the rot.......

I used to have a teacher at my Intermediate School (Back in NZ) who used to stick your head in a locker when he gave you the cane, that way if you jumped you hit your head as well! ahhh the good old days!

In form 3 (I think it was) we had an arts teacher that used to grab kids by the sideburns or what there was of them, he ended up getting decked by a student who consequently got expelled and in grade 5 I had a teacher Mr Dicky who taught guitar when I was in grade 4, so come grade 5, I get a guitar for my birthday and lo and behold, Mr Dicky got sacked for putting fat on his strap (makes it sting a bit more).

Those were the days

Well i was a very bad lad,Hit the principal in the head with a tennis ball playing brandy(which was not permitted)Kicked a teacher right up the ass with RM williams boots as he was bending over(Sticking up for a mate).Attacked an annoying student with a cricket bat,Smashed another annoying dudes head into a locker door. Squirted the home economics teacher in the face with sewing machine oil,threw chairs at the maths teacher plus a few other lets just say infractions.I wonder what they would do to me now .I ended up working outside the principals office and had different lunch and recees times from the rest of the school but no suspension or expolsion.
