School rules in infants

This blog doesn't discuss how to discipline todays youngsters but it is necessary to mention what was normal back in the day I was a schoolboy.

Back then you were seen as that silly little boy that wouldn't follow the rules so as I can well remember you'd be taken to one side smacked with your teachers hand and sent with your shorts not fully fastened to face the wall passing the other boys and girls to make you feel more ashamed and embarrassed  trying to hold them up as others could see your underwear and attempts to rub it better.
It was infantile but then back then they'd say you were an infant and you all learned you couldn't challenge the teach or break them.

It was also an era where the ear pull was common place and because our shorts were short it wasn't uncommon to have your legs smacked in front of the class for lesser things.

We all are the products of our times and upbringings so it's important to bear in mind how these parts of boyhood remain part of our concept of being one as a a legal adult whither or not that is part of your current life. To some that era may as well be another place.
