    Hell we still got paddled in the deans office.Good times.

    Did anyone see they are reworking The Breakfast Club for theatrical encores.Now a whole new generation will get a glimpse.

    Did they use a paddle literally and you get smacked across the ass?
    I use to get the leather strap with a Piece of rubber sandwiched between the 2 pieces of leather and we would get a couple a smacks across the palms. Got to feel this pleasure for the first time in grade 6. Still remember the principal's name....Mr. Kline

    Yes it was a paddle.Mr Stubbs,was the boys dean.He had holes drilled in it for aero dynamics .Had some saying carved into it.I just can't remember what.It was brown and heavily varnished.Got the buisness end a few times.Trick was act like it hurt more then it did.That way you only got 2-3 whacks.if you laughed(I only did that once) he would go to town on Ya.I think I got paddled once for selling and distributing Homemade Cinnamon toothpicks.The kind that would burn the skin off your lips.25 cents a piece.big money.I would take the proceeds and buy NFL /MLB team logo pencils in the school store.And more fries at lunch.

    My shop teacher always drank cold coffee from a gross old plastic 7-11 cup. Some of the kids said he put vodka in there, that's why it was cold.

    and.....didn't you also say.....you had a teacher getting it on with a student?

    musta been a hell of a school.

    Remember standing for the National anthem at the start of class? They don't do that anymore, do the year? Now the only place you hear the National anthem is at sporting events. And a lot of people just want to get it over with and start the game. I don't know why they bother.

    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend

    They used to play the Canadian National anthem over the PA every morning at the start of the day. We all stood up next to our desks and listened while someone in the main office played the song from a tape cassette into the microphone lol.

    Our anthem is boring as all hell. Your anthem can't be beat. They should just sing it twice.

    That's because you realize it is the intro music to you losing....... =)
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Yes, also:
    *a kid brought a gun to school
    *another kid burned down a portable (as in an entire classroom)
    *a kid accused a teacher of rape, which after a few years when she had to testify, finally admitted she lied
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Wow. That is fancy. We sang it every morning, but we just had to go a Capella.
    And then say the Lord's prayer, while the 2 Jewish kids and the Sikh kid went and stood out in the hall. image
