Simpler times. We didn't have committees, counselors, ACLU reps, behavioral therapists and squad cars when tiny troubles surfaced....we had John Roekel's office of horror right next to the Music Room ~ enough said.
Here is a humourous view of today's schools vs 1968. How things have changed ! This is only posted in good fun...Comments?? thoughts?? ..
Sad to say it is soooo true..We really did have a very simple life and view of things. Shit just happened...no underlying psychological motives or scars. You learned early in life that no one owed you a living and you were a product of your own actions and had to deal with consequences for those actions. GREAT post Smitty..said alot
Ah yes, John Roeckell's office..I spent many a day in there..and after school as well. Remember those days? cut school, get caught, the Rock beats your butt. Go home and complain to parents..they beat your butt. Geb is right, it was a time you learned to take the consequences..not seek a lawyer! Ah well, at least we all learned to stand on our own two feet.
Consequences?..Hmmm...When Mr. Lanzilotta caught me smoking outside wherever it was we went to do that, he directed me to go straight to Mr. Roeckell's office. Typically, I did not, but went immediately instead to take the NY Regents Exam, where I won admittance and full tuition to SUNY at Buffalo.
QUESTION AUTHORITY!
