Hey, individual. Welcome to A2k. Very clever thread, but not all teachers give long lectures about manners and behavior. Smile

and as for the infamous "spank", I occasionally got switched. Very little corporal punishment in my family and I carried the tradition over into mine.

Teacher is an ethnic group? Who knew! Looks like we're co-religionists (or something), Letty.

I've never heard of nor seen the swift chop thing, but then my family wasn't big on corporeal punishment, neither.

How about making them read Dostoyevsky?

Hey, Soz. Transmission of the culture is one of the latent functions of schools; that and keeping kids out of the job market.

Steve, or have them watch "Law and Order" on TV. Rolling Eyes
