[quote:Anonymous Coward 30776013:MV80MTgxMDMyXzc2MDE4MDMwXzFFQTZCNEMz] Truth is, once you are an adult in the real world without the protection of mommy and daddy, you will get knocked around and you will have to defend yourself. Better to learn that before you reach adulthood than to be coddled until mommy and daddy aren't there anymore and you have to grow up really fast and learn to do things nobody ever taught you. When did kids stop learning there are no safe spaces in the real world? [/quote]
Original Message
It was almost military-like. Standing up when a superior (teacher) walkedä in. Greetings (e.g. "Good morning, teacher!") were mandatory and the entire class would say it in unison. You always asked for a permission to speak. You did not leave the class until you were dismissed by the teacher.
You were punished if you forgot books or hadn't done your homework. Your mouth was washed with soap (really) if you cursed.
Back then nobody had ADHD or exhibited chronic bad behavior.
Most important of all, the parents didn't make excuses for their kids or tried to get special rules for their "special kid". Everybody was treated the same.
If you got good grades or the teacher commended you, you KNEW you had done a good job. No participation trophies back then.
