Johnny picks on his younger siblings.. Gets attention.. this is good..
Johnny picks on younger kids in the neighbour hood.. His parents stand up for Johnny.. this is good.. Johnny tortures the neighbours cat. His parent again stand up for Johnny.. Johnny continues his evil ways though
out his school days and even when he has to go to court his parents pay for the best defence, because Johnny can do no wrong.. Johnny ends up in jail for assault.. cries the blues.. not fare.. poor me.. Johnny gets married and beats his wife.. Johnny has not learned a darn thing..and probably never will..

I used to have a science teacher who threw chalk at you and slapped the yard stick on your desk if you were out of line.
We tried not to be out of line.
I guess he'd go to prison now.
And we would all be treated for abusive trauma.
I don't seem to have any trauma that I know of!
I remember when the dress code changed and you could wear pants or even shorts in the summer. Not always dresses.
Wish we had a dress code now. My students have more body parts hanging out of their clothes than I care to see. I know nearly every girl's bra size and most everyone's butt size from the low necklines and the low rise pants. Stupid.

Oh MY YES!!!  That sounds like a Math Teacher I once had. My heart will still skip a beat at the rememberance of the sound of that yardstick hitting the desk!! (NOT that is was EVER mine.)  
Yes, it is sad what we see on the kids...or should I say...almost on them. I am all for school uniforms.
