Not sure why I'm sharing these stories, but...they are amusing.
My father, 84 years old, remembers his elementary school teacher kicking him full-force on his flank (for fooling around with his buddies). Probably not the best approach, but he remembers it to this day.
He also remembers students being forced to kneel on hardened kernels of corn as punishment.
And I was repeatedly told when I was in elementary school, "If you were stupid enough to go home and complain to your parents that your teacher beat you, you just got beaten twice as hard."
kids these days...

- jahewson 5y agoThey’re not amusing, they’re horrible. The fact that these stories are re-told just goes to show how traumatising they were as experiences for those involved.
- jimmygrapes 5y agoNot all painful memories or memories of pain have to be catastrophised into "trauma". Some can be simply instructive ("hot surface hurts") without needing to go into provoking an irrational response.
