A lad in our class never brought his own packed lunch in. He used to say he forgot it. Dissected a rat in biology and chopped the tail up into little pieces. Put it on a cheese and Branston pickle sandwich and let him eat it while we all watched and laughed. Still makes us laugh now when we talk about it. |

School all in kids favour these days. Teacher to respect kids I assume, kids being able to say what they want, well a lot of school kids got foul mouths these days, calling anyone a peado who passes by (well it's rife in my area), just being plane cheeky to there elders.
I'm telling you I wish I was at school now, I'd have better rights etc, smack teachers/adults, swear like a trooper
and get off with all of that.
Christ the teacher was able to smack you when you were wrong then your parents smacked your ass when I was a kid. Goodness I bet you if that happened now your teacher + parents would be arrested.
Sorry about the rant, but I feel
It's true. |

That's just nasty. Ever stop to think there may of been a reason he never had pack up? You can slightly be forgiven as a child for thinking that's ok but to still think it as an adult is rather concerning |

I went to an all boys school so things were very, very different......
Blackboard rubbers thrown across the class at students heads
Slipper and cane. Cane didn't hurt as much as the slipper. It was like a badge of pride
Teachers using the fire hose on us in the showers after PE
If we couldn't play rugby cos it was snowing we used to wait in the changing rooms and play "whakkaword". If you spoke, you got the slipper, once for every word. If you complained, that was more words.
We got them back though.......condoms on door handles, dead mice in drawers, teachers thrown in swimming pool on last day of term, disappearing for three hours during cross country
Those were the days! Lol

Exactly! It actually gives me a shiver down to my spine and brings tears to my eyes to imagine what might have been happening at home and then to come to school and be subjected to that...breaks my heart. The poor child who will be an adult now......  |

Ditto here. Outdoor swimming pool and having to break the ice in the winter as we had to swim once a week. Calling the teachers sir. Silent prep for homework, 2 hours, prayers twice a day, roll calls. Competitive sport 5 days out of seven, with CCF ( cadets ) the other day, Sunday, being a day of rest. Friends for life, respect, discipline ( I got the cane and deserved it ), boundaries and ambition! Remember being told at the time: school the best days of your life, agree totally! ( Never saw or heard of any "wrong doing" to any of the pupils )  |

We had the cane and slipper at our school and there is no doubt that kids were not so unruly. We were a bit scared...but we respected MOST of our teachers....
I am not saying I think we should bring back CP but I do think that teachers have no powers in the classroom anymore. But also some of the parents don't help matters because they don't work WITH the teachers and back them up when 'little Johnny' is fucking about! Then they wonder why their little precious has grown into such a nuisance in society! |

Being at school in the post cane/slipper days I never had to endure this type of punishment, however our teachers were still very strict and 99% of the kids respected them for it. I wonder what percentage of kids respect their teachers now? |

Had a chemo teacher who used to test our knowledge of chemical formulae by making us stand up. And one by one he would ask each of for the chemical formula for a compound. If we got it wrong he would hit us in the rib cage and spine (front and back) simultaneously. He also used it as a punishment for messing. Used to throw a big bunch of keys at us if we were talking.
Another one knuckled us on the head.
Another lifted us up by the sideburns.
And the rest used the strap liberally

I don't know about not being allowed, but you don't seem to see a proper school dinner.
Meat,potatoes, veg, and some kind of sponge or spotty Dick with custard.
All on the go chips and pasta now.

The majority of kids are good and respect their teachers, CP may have gone but the other punishments survive, and most parents do co-operate on children's education.
There are a vocal few much amplified by the media when in reality most are just fine. I suspect if you were to find out actual percentages then and now it would not be a lot different.
I was frequently punished at school, as I was a bit of an anarchist silly childish thing's like stealing the Gym mistresses knickers, climbing the flag pole and nailing them to the top, unscrewing all the door handles and other petty crimes. I do hope that somewhere someone is still doing the same things thinking they are original. |

Oh I should clarify I am NOT a teacher, I'm letting everyone know of kids I pass outside school when there up at the shops etc.
I will say again this is happening more often I feel that kids don't show much respect.
I feel as if I've to Show them respect, as kids know there rights now and seem to know they can shout all sorts of abuse at you and NO-ONE challenges them. |

not beating people up merely smacking them when it is required, our school had the strap if you did something very bad.
I had a porno mag for some one, they were getting detention for bad language to a teacher. One of my class mates found it and ran to the head master, I got the strap for it. I never did anything like that again. |

So say you were smoking where you weren't supposed to at work, do you think its acceptable for you to be beaten with a strap, if you were caught? |

When I say we still laugh about it. I mean the lad I did it to still laughs about it. We are still friends now after being out of school for 24 years. How many can say they still have friends from school. And his home situation was great. He brought his own packed lunch in every day and used to ask for an extra sandwich from us. We both have kids and our kids play together. Was a prank between friends which he still tells people about when we go to the pub. |

Our art teacher was an ace thrower of the blackboard rubber! Anyone speaking out of turn or laughing when he was at the blackboard had the rubber chucked at their head. He rarely missed! I went home with a black eye on day, told my Mum about it and got her slipper across my legs!!
The bloke who took us for rugby was an ex-Wales international, if we didn't do as he told us he'd either give us a head knuckle or make us do the rest of the session in bare feet. Not nice when the rain was pissing down!
If we had to go to the headmaster for our misdemeanours, it was a thin cane across the palm of the hand for the boys, or his deputy - a woman - would administer a thick cane across a girls palms. Either that or across the arse with the thin cane for both boys and girls. I'm sure the headmaster got pleasure from caning the girls arses! |

Growing up in rural Leicestershire we used to take pen knives and fishing line wrapped around sticks to school with us. The school was right near a fishing lake/reservoir and we'd go poaching after school. No one batted an eyelid back then, couldn't imagine it being allowed nowadays. |

One of my maths teachers use to twist your ear if you came away with a cheeky comment, you wouldn't do it again.
I bet that maths teacher would be out of a job now a days in a heartbeat.
Once again I'm going back to discipline.
Teachers could NEVER do anything like that now.

Can anyone tell me when they outlawed physical punishment in schools?
I can still remember first day at primary school which would have been in 1983,this one boy just would not stop crying after his mum left after bringing him into the classroom.
The teacher obviously couldn't take any more as she roughly dragged him over her knee and gave his arse a good leathering with her hand!
Poor kid lol |

" What schools are you going into where that happens. That's not my experience. "
I didn't explain very well initially, I was talking about regular occurrences OUTSIDE of school, I use to often go up to the shop and school kids would be outside during there lunch break.
And I'm telling you i've never heard so much foul mouth rants shouting:
"hey ol' pishy pants" (at elderly people)
"ya specky wank"
"peado" (anyone)
And also some racist comments also by kids to shop owners, but no-one challenge kids.
So just because I don't live beside some toff school like eton etc, don't think school kids are all angelic.
Whatever happened to "respect your elders", obviously not.
There was a video (which a pupil had filmed on his phone) and 2/3 other pupils verbally and got physically got involved with a teacher.
Teacher lost his job for defending himself. Oh I wouldn't be surprised if all the pupils involved were made prefects. |

To a degree, maybe.
Trouble is, nowadays parents often side with the kids against the punishment/school/teacher, so the kids don't learn from their actions. |

"We used to have boxing in school sports week!
And our PE teacher used to line kids who wagged school up against the sports hall wall and kick balls at them for 10 minutes
"
I'm considering taking my son to the boxing gym with me. |

Wow I remember my father and grand father saying .. Oh the kids of today!! I don't think that much changes through the generations! As parents its our job to show them respect ... And not by smacking as you are just showing them that violence is ok!
I was badly treated as a child and the school didn't even notice... Nowadays schools are much more observant.. Some changes are for the better. |

" What schools are you going into where that happens. That's not my experience.
I didn't explain very well initially, I was talking about regular occurrences OUTSIDE of school, I use to often go up to the shop and school kids would be outside during there lunch break.
And I'm telling you i've never heard so much foul mouth rants shouting:
"hey ol' pishy pants" (at elderly people)
"ya specky wank"
"peado" (anyone)
And also some racist comments also by kids to shop owners, but no-one challenge kids.
So just because I don't live beside some toff school like eton etc, don't think school kids are all angelic.
Whatever happened to "respect your elders", obviously not.
There was a video (which a pupil had filmed on his phone) and 2/3 other pupils verbally and got physically got involved with a teacher.
Teacher lost his job for defending himself. Oh I wouldn't be surprised if all the pupils involved were made prefects."
I've worked in some very tough inner city schools for 20 years. Trust me when I say that the media spin on things is not the reality. |

Corporal Punishment is always the main one.
Schools had discipline back then. Now it seems children are left to run riot and they take that into adulthood  .
Apart from that nothing has changed. |

Can't think of one school in my area where kids run riot. My grandchildren are doing extremely well and have excellent relationships with their teachers and TAs. Every school has it's problems and they deal them in a civilised way now and don't dish out violence when a rule is broken. My ex was caned almost every week, didn't stop him becoming a violent. Abusive cunt to me and my children |

I'm 45 and my son is 23. My daughter is 4.
There's nothing new under the sun. There was discipline in my inner city school, there were rules certainly. There were also little shits in it too. Same for my lad, he was a bit of a tit at times and he's turned out ok, though cant work out what that fashion is all about!
And I'm sure that when our littlun starts in September, we'll have a similar journey.
I remember a very capable maths teacher being hit by a parent for disciplining a child when I was at school. This was 1979. So, the supposition if a teacher's authority being undermined by parents is hardly a new thing.
Back to the thread:
Declaring undying love to my 15 year old gf. And having the best year of my life off the back of it!  |

Notwithstanding the corporal punishment issue (which we had), when I were a lass our uniform included compulsory skirts for the girls, no trousers allowed... My daughter's new school uniform forbids the girls to wear skirts - trousers only...
Oh, and we played with clackers at breaktime. Happy days comparing bruised, and occasionally broken, wrists |

"Girls and boys not made to climb high bars with no underwear ........
I know it's popular in Gabriel's but did Paisley kids go commando to school?"
They were made to take their underwear off before doing PE. |

"A lad in our class never brought his own packed lunch in. He used to say he forgot it. Dissected a rat in biology and chopped the tail up into little pieces. Put it on a cheese and Branston pickle sandwich and let him eat it while we all watched and laughed. Still makes us laugh now when we talk about it.
That's just nasty. Ever stop to think there may of been a reason he never had pack up? You can slightly be forgiven as a child for thinking that's ok but to still think it as an adult is rather concerning "
Lighten up if its funny then whats wrong with that.
I love watching fawlty towers eoisode with the dontvmention the war to the germans it was funny and acceptable at time its still funny though folk think it unacceptable now.

Being made to stand in front of class, and hold the four corners of a wooden chair over my head, for talking too much. (Age 9)
Being thwacked over the knuckles with a long ruler, for talking too much. (Age 9)

Have you actually BEEN in a school recently? Two of my daughters are teachers and while corporal punishment isn't allowed anymore, the children are certainly not left to 'run riot'. One of my daughters left a fairly cushy job in a very middle-class school to become Head of English at an inner city school that was in Special Measures, last year they achieved over 90% pass rates in both GCSE and A Level; do you think they could achieve that if the kids were running riot? |

Poppers on our school ties on the school bus
Nipping out to the loo during a French lesson to have a crafty smoke
Teachers smoking a pipe during lessons
Actually cooking during home ec not looking at the nutritional value of filo pastry
Having a day in a self contained flat within school inviting your favourite teacher for lunch and having wash, dry and iron some of their clothes!
As for respect to teachers, I like to think my children don't have any less respect towards their peers or teachers than I had as I have taught them to be polite and respectful. Too many people expect schools to be the ones to teach children basics like manners and respect as they can't be arsed at home.

CP didn't happen when I was at school and Ive turned out fine!
Whether CP is allowed or not, I do not believe it would make a difference. Some people do not want to learn and will not respect others whether there is a punishment or not. Punishments don't work with everyone, some think it's worth it.
I am glad CP is not around! There are other ways of teaching children right from wrong. Nowadays you mark a child and you will have SS involved which is the way it should be! |

I remember being violently shaken in infant school for crying. Probably gave me brain damage. Probably why I'm on here, lol
Any teacher doing that now days would be rightly charged with assault. |

Going by my area:
There were people in schools at the age of 11-16 that:
Take drugs,
Bullied others face to face or online/by phone
Underage drinking as in getting d*unk, not a social one,
And 13 year olds having sex and on the rare occasion you would get then wage pregnancies and what's worse people would congratulate them on this .
Due to teachers turning a blind eye and/or authority. These problems are getting worse, which results in normal students not reaching their full potential.
People in the day said they drank 1 bottle of babysham, Bailleys, or a small amount of alcopops. Now its vodka and whiskey. So the problem has definitely got worse. Technology hasn't helped matters either. |

I have just turned 40 so left school a number of years ago I attended a school that looking back was " rough as fuck" all the problems above happened then. I regularly saw the local drug dealers hanging around the school gates, I went to school with various smack heads, bullies have always and will always unfortunately exist any head of school that tells me bullying don't exist in a school I would call deluded. There are just more ways to bully and seems to be harder to control. Teenage pregnancies happened we had one girl who left school with 3 children and drink we all hung around the park and drank special brew or mad dog 20/20.
I do think schools and teachers are blamed far too much for parents failings |

I finished school in 1975, Cannabis and LSD were the common drugs used in school back then, cheap cider was the drink of choice (budget) but whisky and vodka came out for parties. being a virgin at 16 was considerably more rare than it was in the 80's / 90's
My mother finished school in 1950, they had beer and cider very few spirits and drugs didn't really spread outside of London back then, though she remembers 2 girls leaving and being sent to convents due to pregnancy.
Nothing much changes except the global market and relative wealth make more things available, and the technology lets more people know what is happening, even in the 70's it would not have made national news unless there was a mass fight spoiling someone's bank holiday. Television didn't have a 24 hour channel to fill, and newspapers were too busy printing international events.
Nothing changes except the angle of view. |

these stories make me laugh things were much easier then, could go in the off license at 15 buying JD. No questions asked, organised d*unken parties in the church halls drinking down the park, losing virginities in parks.
Nothing changes apart from people getting older and blaming the younger generation.
If anything the younger generation should be blaming us for all our mistakes, they'rethe ones who got it harder |

I got the strap aged 5 for telling lies. Spent an entire weekend on a project only to have some wee shite steal it and pass it off as his. After the belting I returned to class and broke his nose for being the nephew of my teacher.
Didn't mean his 12yr old brother and 4 of his mates had the right to use my 5yr old head as a football.
Was belted often especially at High School for being opinionated and disagreeing with teachers especially during religious classes
I took up Boxing aged 15 and my PE teacher knew it. Every time there was a fight in the playground the bully would be brought to the gym and I was sent for to teach the wee prick a lesson in fighting.
Maths teacher would wear a see through blouse and no bra when teaching my class......always got sent to the front and held back after class.......I would've been 16 and she was late 20's man they were nice
