Nun Schools strict on spanking

Nun schools in the 1990s were very strict on spanking. Although I admit that it was applied a few times in public and they were more drastic than normal. did anyone have similar experiences?

Our nuns at the parish school were French Catholic extracts from Canada. They were tough. You had to be there from the ‘50s to ’70s. The “strap” was ever-present/visible. A word to parents about a strap incident at school brought on more strap at home.

I was in a Catholic school for 8th grade. The one Nun was irritated that I was a “lefty” and made it her mission to convert me to writing “righty". She smacked my left hand a zillion times with her dang wooden ruler as well as her verbal demands that I should comply. My Dad got pissed off seeing my bruised knuckles & hand and went to her Boss…if it did not stop immediately the money going into the Sunday collection plate would stop also.. It sure as hell did stop as well as her arrogant demands I write right--handed . I won. I still write “Lefty” very nicely and that Nun went to her eternal reward decades ago.

It was always the threat to be sent to Catholic school if we didn't do better in public school when I was young in the early 1950's..

I didn't go to a Catholic school, but my ex-wife did. There were lots of stories about how strict they were, but I don't recall my ex talking about corporal discipline, just very tight rules, uniforms etc. She said kids that went into public 9th grade schools after 1-8 grade in Catholic schools went crazy with the extra freedom etc.. Rumor had it - you had a better chance of scoring with a girl that came out of a Catholic school!

My sister went to Catholic school for her junior and senior years of high school. She spoke of nuns who were backward in their thinking (1980). After sex ed classes, she would tell the other students about contreception. Over half her graduating class was pregnant or had kids by graduation.

90s! The 60s and 70s were bad. Never got spanked but the Mother Superior had a huge wooden paddle and would hit/spank the boys with it. They also thought nothing of punching the boys for discipline. The nuns were cunts (and not in a nice way) the whole Catholic religion is sick.

The same with me. I started out going to a Catholic school in kindergarten and 1st and 2nd grades. But during the second grade, the nuns so pissed off my mother with their punishment shenanigans, that in the middle of the school year, she took me out and put me in a public school.

It was a breath of fresh air. Students were treated as semi-adults and given responsibilities like being a crossing-guard or movie projectionist for rainy days and to read stories to lower grade classes and public speaking. I didn't go to school with dread and butterflies in my stomach.

Then we moved and I had some serious disputes about religion with my parents (even at that age) and wham, they put me back in two different Catholic schools in crappy WPA buildings on the verge of being condemned with a bunch of nasty-minded bipolar nuns. You never knew how they were going to act from one day to the next. A slap on the face or not. And they treated you like babies, sit at your desk, learn the prayers and shut up.

I went to Catholic school for 3rd and 4th grade it's and the nuns hit us with anything it didn't have to be a ruler or whatever the hell they had in their hand. They would line us up against the wall and come around to pull pants down for swats with the paddle in order.

One day my mom came home from work late so I got to school late. The teacher who was a nun took my math book out of my hand when I walked in the door and smacked me up beside the head with it really good.

I've had it with that damn school so I decided I'm going to get kicked out today..

I took the math book out of her hand and smacked her upside the head with it.

She dragged me by the hair down to the principal's office. The principal who was a nun took the math book from her and smacks me upside the head with it.

I went to grab the math Book out of her hand but she raised her hands well above her head and I gave her a Titty twister.

And that was my last day at Catholic School.

I often wish I had repaid the nuns in Catholic school back in kind. Slap for slap and and a snarky retort for every nonsensical thing they told us.

@Turkey1

Amen. They were fucking cunts.

Two nuns on bicycles going down a cobblestone side street in Rome. One of them look to the other one and says I never came this way before.

It really helps when you're 6'1 225 and 11 years old now as a studly corn feed 225.

That was 80 and 81

You're a hero. Those nuns are perverse.

I remember one girl challenging the nun about a math problem, which the nun put down the wrong answer. The nun was furious that someone had the nerve to say she was wrong. The girl worked out the problem on the blackboard. I remember the nun being very angry, and it was obvious she did the problem wrong. Instead of congratulating the girl on finding the right answer, she took it personally like a bad criticism. Those mysterious ways….

These schools pound down the nail that sticks up. Hence we have so few inventors, real scientists, and discoverers.

That was so typical of nun teachers. probably because they were so poorly trained as teachers and therefore insecure and easily miffed.

My experience was of getting some of my answers on a history test marked as wrong (which weren't wrong). When I took our history textbook to the nun to show the correct answers, she flat out refused to even look at the book. That sealed it for me. Not the being wrong in making a mistake, but not being willing to even look at the correct answer from their own textbook.

Later, when I was in a Jesuit high school, pointing out a teachers mistake was considered proof that you were really paying attention in class …

I once wrote a paper, and the Catholic lay teacher gave me an F. I was shocked, since I thought it was at least passable. I asked, and she told me, in front of the whole class, that “you're not capable of writing like that” and “you plagiarized it”. Now, being a kid, I had NO idea that someone has to prove you stole or plagiarized someone else's work. It was awful. I pleaded that I wrote the paper with my sister in the room the night before. I suppose even if I was older, and had asked where it was “stolen” from, it wouldn't do a thing. We had NO rights. The teacher made it worse, saying that it was “A quality” work, so I was getting an F, because she wasn't convinced I wrote it. Inside, I beamed at the idea that I could produce work of that quality.

My best revenge was getting to do freelance writing outside of my profession, as an adult.

You didn't bring this stuff up to the parents, because they didn't care.

@sundaybrunch

I've had that problem with teachers many times besides Catholic School

I read my books at the start of the semester every time. So I know all of them I didn't have to do a lot in class.

And I learned in high school from a p**** chemistry teacher to keep all my papers or Iget flunked cuz I outdid some teacher.

One time in college there was a pascal class and I've been programming in Pascal since I was nine.

I answered the question he wasn't expecting anybody to get right. If I hadn't saved all my tests all my papers I would have flunked that class.

There was five other times in college.

You're more proof of how schools treat smart people.

They don't like to have kids “skip grades", how how they put it now, “acceleration”. They have a fancy word for the simplest concepts.

School teaches to lowest levels, so “no child is left behind”, so if you're way up there, it's so boring, and it holds you back.

It seems a lot of very smart people don't like school, and rightly so, it's some kind of passage to endure, to get to levels where you CAN learn.

So very true @sundaybrunch

I would expect there's some really smart people on this site, because somehow, there's got to be some kind of link between high intelligence and liking more than vanilla sex.

@sundaybrunch

And I'm an exceptional case too. I'm not that smart. Iq around 121 it's just the fact that I have the mannerisms of a nonverbal autistic. Most people assume that I'm slow and some people are shocked that I'm smart enough to talk

And it's something extra special when obvious retard out does them.

20 points puts you way above the average 100. A lot of the smartest scientists weren't big talkers.

IQ scores are difficult to assess since IQ tests are regularly changed so they maintain an average result of 100. In other words, the average IQ changes over time. It has been determined that it has been rising.

a quote: [Since the early 1900s, raw scores on IQ tests have largely increased in most parts of the world. This phenomenon is sometimes called the “Flynn effect” after the scientist who discovered it, James Flynn.

In the 1980s, Flynn noticed that U.S. military personnel who took IQ tests in the 1980s did much better than those who took the same test in the 1950s. After doing more research, Flynn discovered that IQ scores had been rising all over the world by about three points or more per decade.

Then again, we haven’t necessarily gotten smarter or more evolved than our ancestors.

Scientists believe this increase in IQ is because we’ve improved our abilities to think logically, solve problems, and consider hypothetical situations. It’s also likely due to an increase in formal education, vaccinations, and better nutrition.]

This is pretty depressing I find. It means that someone who scored 120 in High School, will, by the time they retire end up with a score that approaches 105/100. And seriously, from observation, I find that lots of young people exhibit behavior that does not reflect such a supposed rise in IQ.

@agracier

Yeah that iq score with at 31. I've had a 121 129 132 2 * 141

But the thing is I look like my Iq score was 50

@Mental_Patient I’m sure that you still are lovable. Looks aren’t everything ! 😃

Some catholic schools still allow the teachers to spank students.

Since the exposure of the priests and the rampant child abuse from long ago, I doubt they'd get away with that. That's just what they need, another lawsuit and a public scandal.

By eighth grade, I realized most nuns were fuck ups when one spent half the morning beating me up in the hallway outside the classroom. She tried to get me to admit to something I didn't do.

But I didn't cave.

It was then I realized that many nuns were failures in society and the easy way to get respect was to hide behind their habit.

I actually came to that conclusion way back then …… even though I was only 13.

'Nuff said ……

There were Nuns and there was--Sister Imelda. She was huge.Wore size 16 shoes. Maybe 300 lbs. Every boy no matter of their behavioral bent feared & dreaded any confrontation with her. She yanked one boy out of his seat by one hand and held him up mid--air and told him to “behave himself" and then lowered the kid back in his seat like a human crane.Yikes !!.
