I'm glad her scary tactics worked for you. Yet she would have never made it as a public school teacher. We were trained to be calm, nurturing, and to give lots of supporting words, especially to students like you. The function of a great teacher is to TEACH, not terrorize.
Thank you, Diane. I certainly don’t condone her behavior and wished she would have built me up in a normal way as two college professors did later in life. One professor built me up as a writer and the other as an actor.
Still, I understand the 1960s and the times I lived in and grateful I found some love, albeit very tough love ! 😌
Now those professors knew what they were trained for!!
I've heard so many horror stories over the years about nuns I'm surprised that any parent would subject their child to that fate, but then I'm not Catholic, so I don't really "get it."
That was a wonderful read - from one catholic kid to another. Thank you.
Thank you, Ute! 😌🙏

Back then corporal punishment was accepted as the right way.
