Were you a naughty boy at school

[kiwi_2005]

When at primary school in form 2 class (aged about 12) I and two others sneaked into the headmasters office and stole his strap, ( the strap they used to strap us on the hand when a bad boy!) cut it up in little square pieces and put it back in his draw. We got sick of him strapping us so we thought we did teach him a lesson. We thought it was funny the teachers were really really pissed off. For days we never gave in. Took them weeks before they found out who did it. When they did find out we got 6 on each hand from his now brand new leather strap which wasn't broken in so it was hard as a rock and he really made sure it hurt, actually i remeber the impression on his face as he swrung his arm to do the blows - like a blardy psycho!. What made it worse is we would quickly pull our hand back just before it striked us so he would miss, this only made him even more madder. :rotfl:

Then he suspended us for 3 days we all thought YAE!! a holiday! our parents weren't impressed i had to work for the 3days.

Then when High school came around i was introduced to the KANE!:damn: Oh yeah this simple piece of bamboo on the backside really hurt I remeber i answered back to my science teacher one to many times he mjust of been in his 70's but boy could he swing that kane good and hard i got 3 on the backside since as he said it was my first time next time it will be six. But i learnt my lesson after that. We even had a teacher who we nickname the vampire as he use to draw blood when he kane us he hit so hard with so much force that you would get cuts and bleed. One parent complained and after alot of heated meetings with the school & parents he was never to use the kane again.

Then around 1992 they banned the strap and kane in NZ.

actually when i looked back i learnt nothing from school, only how to handle punishment and walk out of the headmasters office smiling as a gesture of that didn't hurt one bit mate! (although it did) only when in my late teens then i wanted to learn. School was a waste of time.

EDIT any young people on here dont take my advice go to school & learn ! Back in the 70's-80's school was different.

[AVGWarhawk]

Different or not, any dude looking to hit me with a strap or cane is going to get one right back in the kisser from me:nope:. I graduated HS in 1984. Corporal punishment:nope:

[Kapitan_Phillips]

I dare them to do that again :rotfl:

I spent most of my early years in Catholic schools and one year in a Catholic military school (double whamy). I was no angel, but I was never expelled and never subjected to any punishment more than a quick whack by a nun and many days in detention (called jug).

[Skybird]

No surprise - I got banned from religious lessons: i asked too many uncomfortable questions, and did not obey to stop doing so. :lol: Else I was tame, shy, but always working on causing good laughter (what eventually may have ruined one lesson, or two...) All in all I have good memories of my time at school, and that age and time and feeling of life in general. I really miss it sometimes. but at no cost I would like to be young again in the present, only back in those past years. Perspectives definitely were brighter for the Young ones, and life was easier and a bit more relaxed than in the present.

I was a bad boy in the second year of secondary school I held the record for school and private detentions. Got the size 15 gym shoe a couple of times :o :o but never got a weekend detention or the cain.

[XabbaRus]

when I was at boarding school we had a teacher who if you forgot something for class, even as small as a rubber (eraser to my US cousins) he would get you to find the largest gym shoe (we had open footware lockers) and then beat you 6 of the best, he'd even right POW backwards in chalk so you had POW on your arse. I personally think he just enjoyed beating little boys and found any excuse. I was 10 at the time. Got hit a few times though. Strangely though when I stabbed one kid with a pencil cuase he was being an arsehole to me nothing happend...!?! go figure.

I knew a few lads who were caned. One for telling the cleaning lady to F-off and the otehrs for running away.

The funniest was a teacher who bought one size 12 shoe just for beating, did me once but he barely tickled my hand. I don't hink he had the guts to do it but just wanted to look tough.

[STEED]

School kids today have no idea of the gym shoe or the cain let alone a clip around the ear and having the board rubber and chalk thrown at you by the teacher. those were the days before all this PC crap took over.

[bookworm_020]

I missed the cane and the strap (they were banned in Australian Schools earlier, I think) I only once got into trouble (broke a glass dish in Home Economics) giving me one detention.:roll:

I won a couple of awards and manage to dux a subject while at high school, but left in year 11 as I had enough of School.:shifty:

Became a aprentice Toolmaker, but once I finshed the 4 years required I did some further study and became a Librarian!!!:88)

My 6th grade teacher had this board that he used for spanking those who got out of line. Actually you had the choice of standing in a corner during recess or getting spanked. I think I always chose getting spanked because I didn't want to miss recess. :know:

Anyway, this board had 3 holes in it and he called it ............ You guessed it.

THE HOLY BOARD. :yep: :lol:

Of course he made mention to the fact that with the 3 holes came less resistance when he swang it thru the air. :yep: :x

[fatty]

I remember in the sixth grade I was eating lunch in my classroom. I looked away for a sec and the portly girl who was beside me took my lunch and started to eat it. I called her a "pig" and punched her in the gut. I had to write a letter to my mom explaining my actions and apologizing for them.

[RedMenace]

I called her a "pig" and punched her in the gut.

:rotfl:

You were one awesome sixth grader.

[Skybird]

The educational habits in your countries bewilder me. such things stopped over here - before the world war. I am far from propagating anti-authoritarian education (it doesn't work for sure), but certain specialities in anglosaxon tradition are even less acceptable to me. Even dogs I wouldn't treat like that.

I really slammed her, I felt bad after and still do sometimes :oops:

Quite agree, and thats why kids in the UK run amok today.

:D Middle and High schools I was a good little boy, me

Primary and Nursery? :oops:

Not so good....

Nearly expelled from Nursery and nearly suspended from Primary :oops:

In fact...I think the only time I got into a fight after Primary school was with a German kid called Klaus, I forget what the disagreement was about...but I found a housebrick and considered smacking him with it...decided not to (thought the consequences outweighed the benefits) and dropped the brick...then HE picked it up...and I could see that he had no such qualms and legged it...the brick hit me on the back of the foot...so...I carried on running a bit...then let him catch up with me, then put him down.

Any other times I've come close to a fight I've been able to talk myself out of it....

I made history in our Primary School, I was the only one who had the cane .. I don't know if the record stood until it was knocked down and replaced by houses [progress ?]. I was told my School didn't exist about 6 or 7 years ago so ...
In Senior School, on our last School trip in 4th year, I and 2 others got caught shoplifting and brought back to School and given the cane. It turned into a double-edged sword as our Headmaster informed us that the person we stole from was a Widow and my Mother was a Widow also and struggling so that hit home to me.
At the start of 5th year and our first Assembly, the Headmaster plonked us on the stage to parade us in front of the rest of the School and informed the 5th year section that they will have no School trips in this final year due to our actions. My face went Crimson [blushed bad back then] and there was a moan from the 5th yearers. Needless to say, the 3 of us were 'sent to Coventry' until we left School.
Fortunately, the Head didn't inform my Mother otherwise I would have got a good hiding from her and I never told her. If there is an afterlife [and I doubt it] then she will know now.
All in all, I had the cane 9 times [3 x 3; 2 lots on my left hand, being right handed and 1 lot on my backside for the shoplifting from a shop run by the Widow]
I haven't forgot any of them even now years on and STEED is right with the UK/Discipline thing; there is no deterrent.
One other thing, when my Dad was alive and he said, 'sit down or else' .. you sat down because you didn't want to find out what the 'or else' would be. Kids today would say 'or else what ?' then tell their Parents to F**K O** [I've heard them do this in Supermarkets = Cringe !!]

[fredbass]

Even dogs I wouldn't treat like that.

I would never treat dogs as bad as I treat humans because if a dog misbehaves, it is usually the owners fault. :know: :yep:

That's why I wouldn't cane the kids, but their parents. ;)

Today school is expected to neutralize the mistakes of parents, or the dysfunctional family environment of theirs. And that is a bit beyond the reach of what school can do. It's also not the school's responsebility to take care of principle education of the kids, but their parent's. That includes that parents are not out of house 18 hours a day, but spend time with their kids and take care of what theirs kids invest interest in and what/whom they pick as their idols, also that parents don't spend half of the family income for alcohol, and take care of what an example they set themselves in order to teach "positive values" to their kids.

Neither the state nor the school can compensate for a good job done by the parents. And I strongly believe that it really should be like that.

Society, at least in the USA, is now at a point where both parents work (normally) so they can live the life that they desire. As a result, young children are too often raised in the hands of day care employees. Noone is going to convince me that "day care" is going to give the type of attention, discipline and love that a parent would normally be providing if they were raised at home. So it is no surprise to me why there is such a lack of knowledge and maturity with so many people in todays society.

Sorry for going off topic. (sort of) :know:

I'll back you on your description of present situation, and your assumptions, I share your doubts. And no psychological theory will make me change my mind in this - I know how they get created, and how psychology discipline works. It tends to focus on and to prove those views on humans and social life that are desired by political paradigms of social engineering and controlling. Recommended read, in German only, unfortunately, but really HIGHLY recommended: Michael Sonntag- "Die Seele als Politikum. Psychology und die Produktion des Individuums". Reimer Verlag Berlin. You probably only get it second hand these days. It is hidden dynamite that so far has not triggered the ammount of attention that it deserves. It really strips you of many of psychology's most popular illusions about itself.

Primary School sucked for me the headmaster had his favs ie those into sports yada yada i gto the belt twice in primary six our teacher was a farmers wife and christ did it hurt it was like getting twatted of the hulk.
In primary 7 our teacher was one of the coolest dudes you could imagine he never caned or belted any one but if you didnt pay attention he could smack any part of your body at up to 30 feet with deadly accuracy with a chackboard duster man must have been a darts champ.
try and explain this to my snotty teenage daughter and she thinks im joking wow i wish i could show her how easy it is for them now.:know: Moan finished mind you High school sucked as well but i some how manged to pass all my exams never figured that one out:hmm:

[Kapitan]

I wasnt that bad at scholl amazingly few detentions, worst thing i ever did was blow the canister of steric acid up in science burning part of the lab down i was thrown out of science indefinatly (oddly enough they were my highest exam results in my GCSE).

I have stabbed some one in the head with a parker pen didnt do much to the other guy but still got my point accross, and also partly destroying and short curciting the main electrics board.

[Bertgang]

I was a quiet and silent schoolboy, most of times.

My usual attitude doubled the outcome when I decided to make a joke against a teacher during a lesson; he became furious, red in face and nearly unable to speak.

Moreover, he wasn't believed by the director; what he said against me seemed simply impossible.

[leeclose]

All teachers no matter where have attented a special course in being a lieing b!"£$%^D:up:
