The universal punishment was both got paddled in front of the class but I had 1 teacher who went a step further. After getting paddled, you had to shake hands and hug each other. The hug was more of a deterrent to fights than anything else to us boys.Sigmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620827986248324301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-44311280170520274182016-01-11T21:53:00.825-05:002016-01-11T21:53:00.825-05:00Totally different than in the 60's...

If I'm going to get suspended for defending myself, leave the other kid bleeding on his back.<br /><br />I got in a grand total of 3 "fights" in elementary school. I lost one. I won two. I learned the lesson, don't stop until the other kid stops trying, or they have to pull you off him.<br /><br />Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Well then I might as well.abnormalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326834806578868133noreply@blogger.com
