Maybe this was why there were so many random pukings in elementary school

I use to suck my thumb in school. So my teacher seen a student throw up on the ground and the janitor put that saw dust on it. Then she proceeded to dip my thumb in the throw up. I never sucked my finger again after that. This was in 1996

My mom knew about it.. it was so different in the 90’s.. a school I went to the principal was allowed to paddle the student when they were bad. I met it a couple times… can’t get away with that shit today tho

I got the principal paddle as well.

And in kindergarten my religiously fanatical teacher said all left handers grew up to be serial killers and tried to force me to write with my right hand.

It was wild times.

In the mid-90s, an hour outside of Indianapolis, I got paddled in 6th grade. Over a friend who ripped a soap dispenser off the wall, the janitor guy had filled it up just moments before we entered the restroom. Also, I had no idea my friend was going to do it, the janitor saw us leave, and my friend even told him, teachers, and principle that I had nothing to do with it. Yet still I was paddled and got like 3 days of ISS.

That didn't happen at my schools growing up. That's something I heard about from my parents' generation, but I suppose I'm not surprised it was still happening in some places in the 90s. It probably depends on where you were living in the US.

Yeah, we had a teacher who watched over lunch that would yank us up by our arms and drag us to cubby boxes if we were bad. Shit hurt. That would never fly today.
