This should hit every email inboxor Bulletin to show how stupid we have become!

Think about it!1958 vrs 2008. Do you agree?
I don't go back as far as the 50's but I got my share of paddling when I was in school in the 80's-I was a problem student and what else can a teacher do,even though I never learned from all the times I got swatted,I know other students thought twice before acting up after seeing me grabbing my ankles for 5 hard whacks!1958 vrs 2008. Do you agree?
Most of the stuff you said happens in ';2008'; doesn't. If there's a punch up at school, the kids get a detention.. what's with the whole ';SWAT Team'; Geez... where the f'uck do you live?



Personally, 2008 is a lot better, then 1958. With corporate punishment, and what not.



A/N: Everything that you listed as ';1958 Scenarios'; happens, at my school in 2009!
''This should hit every email inboxor Bulletin to show how stupid we have become!''



yes, you have become MORE stupid; these things happen only in america.
This is absolutely correct.
You're absolutely right. It's very, very sad, isn't it?



I know where this started and how it got this far, but every time I type it out, I get reported...the liberal Democrats keep thinking I'm attacking them when all we have to do is look at history...guess they don't like owning up to it...
No, guns should be kept out of school.



Now we just want to keep all the students safe. We don't want some lunatics bring guns to schools.



Keep the guns at home.
