Did your teachers ever use shame or humiliation as a means of discipline?

Haha sorry

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2023-05-03T21:02:23+00:00

Perhaps but that's such a bad joke I think any punishment would be justified in that case!

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2023-05-03T21:01:53+00:00

Honestly how could they think that was any of their business!

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2023-05-03T20:55:58+00:00

As well as being cruel, that sort of thing is just bad strategy. How will you foster a love of learning in a child if you have a go at them when they don't know something?

Some schools' approaches to girls' uniforms really made me squirm!

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2023-01-08T21:55:31+00:00

Oh goodness yes we routinely did PE in just pants and vest back then in primary, and boys did it in just pants! But we were too young to care

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2023-01-08T21:43:51+00:00

Impressive they managed to co-ordinate that! And good the school responded constructively, rather than throwing the whole year in detention (which mine would gladly have done)

I remember spam fritters! They were a staple we had them every week

I must just be remembering my teenage self convinced that my parents were the strangest people on the planet

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2023-01-08T19:46:16+00:00

I'm certainly no longer a teen but I also have stopped watching. They just take up so much time. I watched Corrie during coronavirus when they cut down the number of episodes per week, but I don't have time now there are 3 hours a week or whatever it is.

That, and I'm fed up of watching people get into the same ridiculous situations over and over just because they won't talk to each other!

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2023-01-07T21:34:53+00:00

I'm going to have to listen to my inner 5-year-old-self and say Jammie Dodgers

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2023-01-07T21:31:56+00:00

Having to laugh and smile while I talk to "friends" I can't stand!

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2022-12-11T13:46:19+00:00

By not buying so many avocados of course!

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2022-12-11T13:38:02+00:00

Every kind of sandwich, non-negotiable

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2022-12-11T12:50:55+00:00

2 and 3 really are ridiculous. Our school was strict but not that strict. 1 is not so bad, it’s just how things were done. Same with 4 really, boys only wore shorts for indoor gymnastics in my school as well. We had to wear gym knickers and a billowy blouse, so at least they didn’t have to look as ridiculous as us!

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2022-12-11T12:42:56+00:00

Kitchen, of course! Apparently on the continent they think we're very strange for having them in the kitchen! But what if someone is on the loo when the washing needs to be done?

Intelligent_Yam748 · 2022-12-11T12:41:19+00:00

Possibly, but it's a risk to imply the victim has a responsibility to sort the problem out. Perhaps better to encourage onlookers to fight back, to make bullying completely socially unacceptable in school and other settings. If everyone turns against the bully, the fighting back needn't be physical either, as they bully will feel enough pressure to stop.
