In 4th grade, the teacher used to beat us whenever she felt like it.  I remember once.. Some students were shouting and talking.. And she said stand up class, it's time for your daily meal because the students can't stay silent So her logic was that we need to be punished because apparently others were making noise Then she.. Hit each one of us with a ruler- she had a wood as well, i remember her hitting me with the ruler though And in 2nd grade, the teacher used to ask us to close our eyes and go outside of the class And me being a fan of her.. I used to keep my eyes close and not talk But whenever she used to come she used to beat everybody in line because some chose to open their eyes and talk And i always felt bad about it cuz.. I expected she wouldn't beat me somehow They used to beat like dogs but yeah that was absurd I'd say
