A lot of things have changed since those days.Originally Posted by ZoraSpook
If you went to the teacher and tattled about a bully, or most anything else, they'd tell you to just deal with it. Every tub was expected to stand on its own legs.
These days if you punch out a bully the cops are called. You should've gone to your teacher or some other authority figure, never ever take personal responsibility for anything. Personal responsibility is a thing of the past in the US of A.
Plenty of things we did would get you in bad trouble now.
If you failed a test, you failed. No grade curving, retakes, or coddling, just consequences. Kinda bad I guess for those with learning disabilities, but it was what it was.
By the time I got to high school, most of us had a gun rack with various 'assault weapons' in the back window, and the bathrooms smelled like an overflowing ashtray.
We said the pledge and the Lord's prayer every day in homeroom, and I'm pretty sure nobody was offended.
