What the hell!? This sounds like a genuine case of child abuse...
- SAI_Peregrinus 9y agoThat's the point of Catholic school, isn't it?
- erikbye 9y agoCatholics and abuse and you are surprised?
- ConceptJunkie 9y agoYeah, because today's generation of know-nothing, entitled snowflakes is so much better.
- erikbye 9y agoA person is either Catholic or a know-nothing, entitled snowflake? What a binary world you live in.

- Fricken 9y agoHell exactly. A little taste of it here and there so you know better not to end up there.
- JustSomeNobody 9y agoNot just sounds like... it is child abuse. People would do well to read up on trauma informed care and Adverse Childhood Experiences.
- TallGuyShort 9y agoEating a dog biscuit for disrupting class is childhood trauma? Holy hell you people must have had some privileged childhoods.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoMy kindergarten in Russia served us omelettes, once. Awful, horrendous omelettes. And they made me sit there until I finished it, or until the school day was over. I sat there until the school day was over. To this very day, despite having had some tasty ones, I still have an aversion to omelettes. Even the name makes me recall the gross taste. So, that's some light trauma, I guess. But it's just a shitty-tasting omelette, same as a shitty-tasting dog biscuit. It's not fucking child abuse.
- zepto 9y agoYou should do some research into developmental trauma. I suspect that experience has affected you more than you think. Or maybe there was a lot of other abuse in your upbringing and this was normal to you.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoI mean, I grew up in Soviet Russia. My other fun childhood memories include dental work without anaesthesia, a dentist ripping two teeth out with a pair of pliers, my dad falling asleep drunk on the subway and my mom pretending not to know who he is, my friend almost getting crushed to death by a collapsing fence, etc. But overall, being forced to eat something you don't want to eat is a normal part of growing up - kids are fickle and don't realize that some things gotta be done because they're good for you. Being forced to eat dog biscuits is obviously all-punishment-and-no-broccoli, and serving me a shitty omelette was clearly memorable enough to turn me off of them for life, but if I were to make a things I'd work on to improve myself, dealing with the psychological trauma of poorly cooked eggs is waaay down on the list by any objective measure.

- drunken-serval 9y agoSounds like a traditional Catholic upbringing to me.
- throwanem 9y agoI went to two different Catholic schools, and it sounds like getting off easy to me. Amazing what it does for your grades to have a dorm prefect recognize that you're smart but lazy, and encourage improved diligence by combination of a razor strop, on the one hand, and access to his extremely well stocked personal PC/ham radio lab, on the other. I owe that man a great deal.
