    I went to a Christian Brothers School in the 80's and they battered me even though they weren't supposed to, what kind of treatment did you get ?

    I saw them batter a Mars Bar once.

    Could explain his threads.

    I dont think anything can properly explain his threads

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Didn't have a section of homework done - meter ruler across the hand. Didn't have more than one section of homework done - meter ruler across the hand once for each section. Luckily, I normally had my homework done.

    Stung by bee on face - "Ah sure you're OK".

    Bullied by classmates - "We don't intervene".

    But it was the verbal abuse that I found the worst. That principal was a blob of spite.

    When I was 11 I had a brother for a teacher...he was hurling mad.
    I was able to puc a ball at the time so I was favoured.*

    *(favoured meant NOT punished or kept back after hours.)
