Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2008 6:24 pm Post subject: Bizarre Catholic School Punishments |
|
|
I got in trouble a lot in Catholic Grade School and usually that meant getting a good tongue lashing by a Nun,
an impromptu hit across the back of the head, or a few smacks with a ruler.
But in forth grade I guess the Nun, Sister Mary Richard was bored so she sometime gave out bizarre punishments.
I got in trouble for drawing cars in class, so my punishment for after school was to draw 100 cars, and no two could look alike.
I remember drawing a lot of VW Trucks set up to do different jobs.
I also remember Lizzie Hoover had to draw 10 little girls throwing paper in the trash can too.
Anybody else have a Bizarre Catholic School Punishment Story? _________________ Good Luck

| When I was in 6th grade, I went to All Saints School in El Sereno. We had a nun that was major butch. She was the basketball coach, the football coach and the weight lifting coach. Sister Dion, and don't you say Diane was the meanest nun around. She could bench press over 300 pounds. One day, a major trouble maker was causing a disturbance in class. She went up to him and told him, "Gilbert, one more word out of you and I am going to smack you!" Well Gilbert couldn't leave well enough alone, so he told her, " Go ahead, smack me, and I will sue you!" Well Big "D", what we called her, went over and gave Gilbert a right cross. Gilbert landed about 3 seats behind his own. Gilbert went and told his parents, and they said, "Good, seems like you deserved it". Gilbert sported a shiner for about 2 weeks after that. |

I attended an all boys Jesuit high school. (No molesting jokes please. Never happened to me.) This was back in the 70's and private so discipline was encouraged/supported by most parents who sent their sons therer. 700+ high school males with testosterone to match.
One of the brothers was an ex-NYPD Vice cop, about 6'4" 250 of muscle. I saw him lift guys into lockers or wack football players in the head when they challenged him. We also had Bro. O'Donnell. His creation was called "Sambo". A thick rubber paddle about 1' long and stiff enough that it would flex like like a golf club shaft and spring back straight just prior to impact, hand-made of course. He'd walk around with that thing so all the students would see it. If you ever "got Sambo'd" he'd make you put a palm out, take a nice swing and "THWACK!" You could hear that unmistakable sound resonate throughout the school. The biggest, toughest jocks were reduced to tears. I think my parents paid extra for that shit...  _________________ One man's "patina" is another man's cancer...

sounds like we need in all schools these days. a little discipline would go a long way on these punks in school these days.
my kids go to a catholic school and i think they have really backed off from that. unfortunately catholic schools seem to have just as many problem kids as the public schools now. hell, i'd be all for discipling some of the parents too! arrogant fucks. |

Marist Bro. run school in South Africa when I was in grade school- we had a teacher that kept an umbrella stand full of various bamboo canes next to the door. Part of getting caned always involved her telling the victim which cane to bring her.

Not Catholic school, but I remember a teacher in middle school had a wooden paddle with 1/2" holes drilled into it, theoretically to reduce air resistance so it would swing faster and hit harder. I'm sure that scientifically it didn't amount to much, but in the minds of kids, it was extra scary. Of course, ALL teachers had paddles back then (and this was the 80s) and used them without fear.
Other than that, for lesser offenses, I remember having to write "listen" like 2000 times or something ridiculous for not paying attention in class...also "I will not talk in class" and stuff like that...there was one time in first grade where my whole entire class was writing punishment sentences for something getting out of hand... _________________ <---Air Cooled Search & Rescue Team - STICKERS & T-shirts for sale!

I had a teacher in Catholic School that would "skunk" you.
If you did anything wrong, forgot your homework or some other bullshit. He would wack you head with a 12" eraser that would leave a chalk mark front to back on your head all day.
Stranger still, the principal for the school killed himself a few years after I graduated performing some self erotic asphyxiation on himself in a closet. (look it up if your not sure)
And just recently my (then) theology teacher was picked up for defrauding the catholic school district for a few million dollars that they say he spent on male hookers and blow.
It appears as if those guys were gettin on like popcorn.
Good times...... |

I once got hit in the chest by an eraser thrown by a Catholic school Brother who thought I wasn't paying attention. That was pretty awesome aim since I sat in the middle of a room that held 50 kids (back in the early 60's - class sizes were pretty big then).
Another Christian Brother had three rulers to maintain discipline in his class. One was "Midget", used across the knuckles or on the palm. Another was "Junior", consisting of several midgets tied together with rubber bands, for lashing the backside. And then there was "Senior", rumored to be a bamboo pole, for which you were summoned to the Brothers' Residence if you needed that much discipline. |

Not Catholic, just good ole Oklahoma Public Schools Circa '74-'81.
I moved to OK in 6th grade. Never heard of "licks" or "swats"
6th grade teach broke out the paddle and gave me a few whacks. She was all of 5'2" and 90Lbs. I laughed at her, she swatted me with a paddle until she was tired.
fast forward to 8th grade. Never (I repeat NEVER !) get swats from a physics teacher. This fucker laid into me with his special paddle. I didn't walk right for days. _________________

Back in the fourth grade at good old public school, we had a teacher that was a complete riot. He's definitely not from the same mold as all the other public educators. He was a great teacher, and if you got out of line there was always some obscure punishment.
One day during lessons a couple buddies were screwing around and teacher had enough of it. He brought them to the front of the class and they were the tallest and shortest kid in the class respectively. He grabbed the chalk and drew a couple circles on the chalkboard about 2 feet apart next to each other, and had two boys put their noses in the circles. Of course, one boy had to squat down to get his nose in, and the other had to stand on his tippy toes to get his nose in his circle. the only rule was if your nose came out of the circle you had to go see the principle, and the principle was a complete$*#%&#& and that meant the parents found out, so you did not want that to happen, so you typically took your punishment from our teacher like a man. The whole class and the two boys thought this was a joke punishment at first (we were all howling at how stupid this was) but after 15 minutes the two partners were wailing in pain and couldn't walk for the rest of the day!
I distinctly remember another time where one of the kids that was screwing around was lifted up and hung on the top of the chalkboard where there was a hook, and left there for around an hour while class continued. This looked like fun for around five minutes.
He was a great teacher, but was eventually arrested for having "relations" with a 16 year old girl several years later, he was 40+.

I went to private schools my whole life and my father was always the principal at the schools I attended. So if I got in trouble at school I would not only get swats at school but at home... So I did my best to 1. never get in trouble and 2. never get got. I was really good at #2. _________________

Um, by chance, did he ever take his hands off your shoulders? From your description, I highly doubt it. |

| One time in 5th grade I was sent to the principal's office to get swats with a wooden paddle but I had different ideas. I took the paddle out of the principals hand and backed him against the wall with it (yes, I was a very bad little asshole as a kid). That was fine and dandy until my dad showed up!!!! I tell you, he bent me over the desk and damn near flipped me OVER the desk with each whack. |

I gave my first grade daughter thirty sentences to write just last night--"I will bring ALL my homework home every night."
Thirty sentences is quite a few for a seven year old. We'll see if she forgets her homework again this evening.
My third grade teacher, Mr. Berry, had a three foot long paddling stick. It was a piece of 1X2 hardwood with holes drilled in it and it was painted with white and red stripes, like a candy cane. He was the best teacher I ever had. I wrote some sentences for him but I was smart enough to show him respect so I did not get a hack.
I really feel sorry for kids not knowing that someone cares enough about them to have that option. |

I agree. There's a lot to be said for fear, intimidation and consequences. It teaches you respect. _________________ One man's "patina" is another man's cancer...
