Whenever I complained that recess was unnecessary, I was told that it was good for me, sent outside and promptly beaten. Being sent outside and beaten happened regardless of whether I complained it was unnecessary. What I learned from that was that being beaten was considered good for me, since that is what happened when I was forced to “socialize”.
