A fire at Westford Academy.  Oh man. That’s my alma mater.  It’s not a private school, it’s just what they call the high school in Westford, Mass. I think it was a private school many, many decades ago.  A suburb of wealthy families.  I doubt that my family could afford to live there today.  I will guess that a spoiled rich kid is to blame for the fire.

Can we please just cut to the chase already and create the "shoot yourself in the head" challenge?  The herd could use a good thinning.

Yep, I vividly remember the principal of my first elementary school having a paddle shaped and painted like a tennis racket proudly on display.

 

One time in kindergarten, our whole class had to march down to his office to watch a classmate get “paddled”.  The kid bawled his eyes out, but in hindsight I’m pretty sure there was no actual physical pain, just shame and embarrassment. Still, a pretty jacked up way of doing things. This was a public school, circa 1980.

 

Then I switched to Catholic school in 2nd grade. There was no corporal punishment, however, those nuns played some terrifying psychological games. Hell, I’d take the paddle over Sister Jane Marie’s coffee breath all up in my grill any day.
