Watch out my brothers of color... - Page 3

The BVMs were a particularly nasty bunch. I saw a nun take a solid oak backboard pointer and hit a kid's palm so hard the pointer broke. Another nun used to keep a supply of those hard felt blackboard erasers on her desk: if you daydreamed or were otherwise not paying attention, she whould throw an eraser full force at your head. She had a very good, major league qualtity, arm and an unerring aim. like you father, I started out in Catholic school in the 50s and finished up in the mid-60s. It was right after I left that the Church made reforms regarding disciplining of students...

Good thing I did not go to Catholic school of course by my time they had been reformed for a few years.

I sometimes work with a man from Connecticut originally he is very good at general contract work.Unfortunately he has had some very serious drug abuse problems in his lifetime.He went to old school Catholic education.He basically had ADHD and was very disruptive so they gave him Phenobarbital which of of course made him seek stronger drugs and he has had problems with crack in the past.This guy he can hardly sit still must of the time which I found out is a side effect of Phenobarbital use and I am sure also damage from drug abuse.A shame really because this man is highly intelligent if he ahd been in a better environment he would have had a very successful life.

Anyway I pretty much was always daydreaming in grade school.What I used to hate the most was group reading because I was much faster than my peers and to have to sit and hear some kid stammer though a simple paragraph was very annoying to me.Not because I disliked the kid but because I disliked that he was getting put on the spot for no real reason when he could have read in silence to himself much more effectively.Of course you always had the kid in class that read aloud all the time that kid deserved an eraser to the dome.My luck was that that kid always sat by me but I also always had thumb tacks for him to sit upon.

A pair of scissors, me and the kid in front of me were a bad combination in first grade. Many fist fights over my barber talents ensued when the teacher was out of the room.

I feel for you Catholic school boys. You'd think that the brides of Christ would be a little more forgiving.

I think it must have had something to do with sexual frustration the nuns I mean.

In kindergarten this girl in my class took something or other from me and she said I had make her give it back so I tried all the kid tricks,Indian burn all that no success.So I bit her arm that worked and also got me sent to the office luckily the girl explained the situation so I did not get in much trouble.

My best exploit was in 7th grade our school had 7th to 12th all together and this 12th grader who was legally an adult kept messing with me and the other kids.I said in class "one day someone is going to flak

you up" and he jumped up and grabbed me and pulled his fist back so I took that Star Trek book and whacked him across the face so hard it broke his nose.Well that was not my plan but he did get flacked up as I had promised.He came pretty close (after making threats against me) to getting flacked up by a Vietnam vet and ex Ranger as well but the gentlemanly encounter he had with my father made him realize that he did not want to see the nasty side if the lanky son can do so much damage with a book it makes you think about what dad can do.
