SCHOOL IN THE 1980’S

Reddit recently asked: “80s/90s kids: What’s something a school teacher did to you that would not fly today?” Some of the answers:
– “A 6th grade teacher would take three kids every Friday to McDonald’s for lunch. She was cool as hell. Smoked during the drive and everything.”
– “I told my biology teacher that I wasn’t feeling too well. He said that I didn’t look sick, and as punishment, made me stand in the corner until I fainted.”
– “English teacher in high school used to chuck the blackboard erasers at kids who were noisy or not paying attention. That chalk would leave marks on kid’s backs for the rest of the day so everyone knew who pissed him off.”
– “My elementary school teacher once washed my friend’s mouth out with soap. This was in 1987.”
– “My elementary school principal would pull loose teeth. You could go to his office, have him pull your loose tooth and he would give you a lollipop.”
– “In elementary school, we had a teacher who, if you leaned back in your chair with your chair on two legs, would sneak up behind you and kick the chair out from under you causing you to fall and possibly smack your head in the floor.”
– “My 3rd-grade teacher had the whole class camp in her backyard after the last day of school. She took us to see the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie in the theater, then we stayed up late telling ghost stories. One of my absolute fondest memories.”
– “I had a high school Spanish teacher tell me after class one day that she wouldn’t say anything if I sucker punched this one annoying bully in the class that she also hated.”
– “If my teacher thought your desk was too messy she’d flip it over and dump out all of the contents in the middle of the classroom and then make you pick them up while everyone watched you. We were six years old.”
* PHONE TOPIC: Have you got a school story that would never be acceptable today?
