Who was put in detention at school?

I thought it was like prison!

No detention. For serious offenses, like fighting, you were suspended for three days. For minor offences, girls had to write sentences or clean blackboards, and boys were paddled by coaches or forced to run laps

@exexec That's not fair. It should be the same for girls and boys.

@Carey My wife probably holds our school record for the number of times she had to write "I will not talk in class." She was happy with that punishment, although it did no good.

@Carey The teachers were obviously perverts who got their sexual kicks from beating boys.

@exexec It seems to me, if she was happy with the punishment, it wasn't punishment.

@Carey Probably true. I always had athletics practice after school, so it wasn't a matter of missing time with me.
