You have personal experience?:

@Eternity It’s their way or the highway with them. They are autocratic teachers and they’ve punished children to death in Indian boarding schools both here in the USA and Canada. I’ve heard stories from older Natives here in Oklahoma.

@Eternity @Eternity they were frustrated. Never say they can't make you learn. At first I was afraid not to do my homework

@Eternity nothing like that happened at my school. the discipline was tough at times but they tried to make sure the tuition was well spent. I've heard em tell guys in high school their money could be better spent somewhere else. Right before they got the boot. I got kicked out of high school twice 9th and 10th. I went on in the Marines. It was easier.

@Carissimi I saw a young priest here in my city at a grocery store & I was an adult, made eye contact with him & believed instantly that he was a very evil person.

Some people have that affect on us. @cherokeepatti

@Carissimi I remember first grade kids bolting for the door after their parents left. some were gone the rest of the day. I made it till Thursday before I tried it. The for was locked. dammit. My first grade teacher was pretty nice. Sister Beverly. now third grade Sister Agustus was mean we h thought. She's the one that, after I told her I didn't know where my coat was at, she would say between the a and t on prepresition street.(did I spell that right?) She once marked a word incorrect because the I had a bit of a loop in it. she said I thought it was an E. That got always aced spelling tests and spelling bees. We just learned cursive the year before.

@cherokeepatti some were. frustrated they went and took a vow to give up sex while they were still virgins.

@kentex35 Could be but the priests were a lot meaner. And they’d rape children, it was common I’m sure of that. So much coming out now about it. They’ve found cemeteries with Native children buried that were forced into boarding school homes, dead from being abused.

@DragonFruit I got the belt in grade school the priest who was principal of high school slapped me once but we were laughing at him. A nun open hand slapped me in 7th grade. I was in trouble but started laughing and I couldn't stop true. She thought I was laughing at her. Next PTA my dad asked to go (parents divorced) and he went right up and asked her if she wanted to try that shit on him.
