You forgot the part where the dinnerladies gather round watching, laughing and cheering until the teachers come outside, where they start blowing their whistles.

I would imagine it went something like this-

1970- Kids and teenagers sit around their living rooms waiting for the internet to be invented.

2010- Kids and teenagers sit around their living rooms perusing boards.ie

You're right OP, it's a disgrace!

This is 2010, schools should really be being run by our cyborg superiors at this stage.

Yeah, well, maybe if Johnny, Mark, Robbie and Billy had the police called on them earlier they wouldn't have been held back in school for forty years.

1980s-was beaten with wooden rod at 5yrs old for running around the table when a parent called in to talk to the teacher. Older brother of 12yrs runs away for 5 days due to the thumps he and his fellow classmates recieved from their teacher.
Teacher goes on to become principal and my family moves house and we change school.
Older brother has still got 'issues' to this day.

2010-Teacher even contemplates violence as a punishment and is up to their eyeballs in sh&t and legal proceedings.
Teacher is fired and child recieves therapy for any trauma.

hmmm...;)

ascanbe · 30-08-2010 10:09PM

Yes. Those hypothetical situations you've imagined certainly prove to you that you are right in believing 'political-correctness has gone mad' and rules are ruining society.

Edit: read the last few properly and can now only assume that this is satirical.

ascanbe who are you talking to here?

Just throwing it out there into the ether, shouting into the void etc...nah, just kidding. My initial response was to the original poster and my edit was, i suppose, me talking to myself.

Where's the Rolling Stones versus Ke$ha comparison?

No problem.
In keeping with the theme outlined on Page 1 of After Hours tonight, it was just an little missunderstanding and i'm not in search of a boards nemesis.

Time for my own (slanted) take on this, just to prove how idiotic the original post is.

1970 - A black child joins the class and is subjected to constant harassment by the completely white student and staff population. Teachers take the liberty of making occasional snide remarks about his race.

2010 - A black child joins the class and makes friends within a day. He is doted on by his teacher, who is a single white mother in her mid-20s.

1970 - Michelle misbehaves in class and is severely beaten by a headmaster with a disturbing lust for discipline.

2010 - The headmaster is arrested and put on trial for child abuse.

1970 - Johnny is raped by his school's chaplain and lives the rest of his life with psychological trauma, never seeing justice as the priest dies and the church systematically covers it up with help from the state.

2010 - Johnny is raped by his school's chaplain. The priest is sentenced to 30 years in prison and his reputation destroyed forever. The case becomes a vitriolic subject among the population, who spit his name with the most utter contempt and disgust.

1970 - God exists. If you do not believe in God, you will go to hell. If you renounce Him, enjoy your expulsion and disownment.

2010 - Some people believe in a god, and some don't. You can listen to this religion stuff if you want, but it's your choice. You might only be a child, but you can be a sceptic and an atheist and there are plenty of people who will support you if you don't believe in the supernatural. The Catholic Church, once unofficial rulers of Ireland, is crippled, and no longer controls children's minds.

You know what? A black child in Ireland in 1970 would have been almost a novelty - they would have met with less discrimination that they would nowadays I'd say.
