Fifty years old we feared our parents and respected our teachers. There were consequences for getting out of line at home, at school or in public in general.
Well said !!!!
You got that right.
True but we feared and respected our parents and respected the teacher now no respect for any one or anything😵 .I'm not religious but look what happened when they took the Bible out of school. James should and needs to run for prez!
Yep. What he said, 100%.
If you got it at school what you got when you got home was gonna be worse
When I was growing up just about every home had guns and there were no school shootings and no mass shootings. Of course, we also had parents that taught us the difference between right and wrong.
The first school shooting was in the USA was in 1778 when two Indian's killed 8 kids and two teachers. After that it's a list of one on one violence up until 1966 when a nut job at the University of Texas tower kiiled 15 people and wounded another 31.
Same, Any sort of violence worthy of the news involving schools was relegated to schools in the worst slums in Chicago and Destroit.
The failure is in parenting, which leads to failure in society.
Yeah parents plural.
Well that's a lie. When was this?
My biggest fear when I was a youngster was someone telling my momma I was in trouble in school.
Me too! Because the punishment at home was always worse than it was at school.
We had a choice: the principal would call our parents or we could take our punishment from him. No parents were ever called. None.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
Ain't that the truth...
🇿🇦
And you can bet your a** they knew about it before you got home. Small town llife
@@AmyWilcox-xb3sb that is a fact. Lol.
I am 71 years old and when I went to school if you went to school and got in trouble in class the teacher would bring out her paddle and give you a whipping and send a note home that had to be signed by your parents and you would get a worse whipping from your parents. I carried a pocket knife every day from 1st through 12th grade, but in my day it was a tool not a weapon and I never got in trouble with it, if I had my Father would have given me the worst whipping of my life. The problem in our schools with kids is not a kid problem its a Parent problem or lack of a parent problem.
100% right.
I had the Nuns for Elementary School, and I guarantee you that they made damn sure we knew the difference between right and wrong, learned our place, and always showed respect!
They were brutal, but nothing compared to the evil of today’s WOKE education system!
Been there and felt that and I did not repeat my mistake.
Absolutely true!!
71yo and still clueless on life.
actually, 12 year olds often brought a gun to school to hunt on the way home for actual food back in the day. In the 70's there would often be rifles in the rear windows of your pickup in the school parking lot. We refinished the stocks on our rifles and shotguns in shop class. Building a gun rack was the first thing a boy did in woodshop.
We had students bring their rifle into school for an English project where they had to demonstrate how to clean it.
The first school shooting in America was in Louisville in 1853. It's not a new thing. It's just gotten worse.
100% right,
I remember high school during the hunting season. The parking lot was better armed than the armory.
👍👍👍
I remember teachers getting mad about chewing gum. That was the big problem
and if we got caught chewing it in class the teacher would make you spit it out into your hand and told you to put the gum on your nose for the rest of the class 😂
That’s why so much gum was stuck to the underside of all the students desks. I’m guilty. 😂
My 3rd grade teacher asked me point blank.. “ Did you bring enough gum for everyone , my reply was NO
I did get whacked on the knuckles & Never again chewed gum in her class I’m 63 and still remember that to this day. 😊
My punishment for chewing gum in class was to write 'I will not chew gum in class' 100 times on paper. It didn't stop me, I learned to hide it better.
I'm 71 and we weren't allowed to chew gum in school either. It was about learning to follow the rules.
But, people don't think about what gum in a door lock will do to the lock. I used to work with a guy who bragged about doing that to classroom door locks and loved watching the problems it caused.
Not only is this man funny, but he makes a damn lotta sense!!!
When I went High School we had a high school gun club. Guns aren't the issue. It's a lack of morals and ethics.
the skit was funny, but it's just wrong. it wouldn't solve the problem, it would make it worse. in effect you'd be telling the kids, "if you have a problem with the way you are being treated in school, then you are going to be treated the same way in society in general" which currently isn't true. you aren't going to solve the problem by convincing kids who have been pushed to insanity that they need to declare war on the world, not just the kids who are victimizing you.
The government is to blame for shootings as well.
A LOT OF NONSENSE
He doesn't.
We had school shootings when he was young too.
What decade we gonna talk about?
in the 1950's there were 32 shootings at schools.
Back then, kids had discipline at home where they were taught to respect their elders, other people's property, the police, teachers, and the church. There was also firm discipline in the public schools, with dire consequences for transgressions. Today, all that is lacking. No one should be surprised. Look at the animal world - parents discipline their offspring when needed, and it works.
then mommy took over.
"Dire consequences for transgressions"? Really? Come off it. You might've gotten whacked with a ruler or some other form of very mild, corporal punishment. There's no need for histrionics.
@@user-ih2fr2hi4q Maybe BUT, mommy handed the children off for someone else to raise, and went to work, so the family could keep up with the neighbors, just to remain solvent.
Back when?
It's becoming very clear you all have no idea about mass violence and guns or school shootings in America.

Parents not being afraid their kids will hate them because they discipline them is a big problem. We got our butts tore up as kids and we learned to behave quickly. Too many parents think they can “talk” to their kids and that will work. For some it does, we grew up fearing what “might” happen if we didn’t behave and it worked. You don’t have to beat a kid but they can think you might.
I knew, growing up, that if I got into trouble at school, even with the "Board of Education being applied to the Seat of Knowledge", that was nothing compared to what was going to happen when I got home! Parents and teachers were allowed to discipline their kids. Now the kids run the schools and the teachers are only there to babysit them. There was no such NONSENSE as "Time Out" In high school you were grounded and all of your extra curricular activities including driving came to a screeching halt! Now that can't happen anymore because the little thugs might get "traumatized" or have other issues. Bulls**t!
@@richardcline1337 absolutely!
Another valid point to consider...the FBI did a study into school shootings and found that the "Copycat Syndrome" is definitely a driving force behind this evil in our midst. The FBI model was originally implemented to investigate serial killers, but there are numerous similarities that are striking. Specifically, there is a pronounced connection in regard to the "one upmanship" factor and the deranged desire for recognition and notoriety. Both strong contributors to this horrible blight upon our society.
Modern parents are either trying to be friends of their children or trying to live life over through their children.
Today parents want to be their children's friend not their parent.
No society can last without strong men willing to make hard decisions.
@@DonTavvit😂
@@DonTavvitFacts but these democrat liberals are to blame for that atrocity 🙄
Tell me all about your life of stunning success? I have no doubts you are a leader of your field and a true achiever.
The more I look at our politicians and society as a whole the more I’m convinced we have passed that moment. As is this once great nation has already been laid to rest and we are existing in its ghost.
@@user-el5yw1er2j dumb question
Preach it loud and clear James!
I remember when I was in like 3rd grade, a boy brought his new 22 rifle for show and tell. Not a single person freaked out, he showed, he told, he put it in his locker. When I was in high school there were plenty pickups in the parking lot with rifles and shotguns on gun racks in the rear window, no one freaked out and no one was shot. They make "gun free zones" and that signals to the evil that right there is a soft target. There was also a huge difference in how people raised their children, they don't raise them now, the smart phone and the game console does.
Why you are so funny to me is you are brutally honest! Rock on brother!!!
My classroom boasted 55 students to one teacher.
We lined up outside. We filed in and took our aligned seats in a classroom devoid of sparkles and rainbows.
Our hands were folded on our desks unless there was a book or pencil in our hands.
I had an undiagnosed learning disability and still absorbed more knowledge in one day that our current students do in a semester.
If you acted up you attended school on Saturday and worked off the punishment by cleaning desks or pulling weeds.
Only an idiot acted out.
We had corporal punishment at school and then a second helping at home. With parents now the child is always right and everyone else is wrong.
I am 66 years old. When I was in Elementary school, I had a crush on a boy and wanted him to know it. So I wrote a note in class that read “ Dear Michael, I love you, I love you, I love you, Love ( my name ) The teacher saw me pass the note to Michael, he read it, and gave the note to the teacher…she called me up to her desk and wrote a note of her own, pinned both to the back of my blouse and sent me to the principles office. The principle read the notes, told me I’m not suppose to be passing notes in class and had me bend over and I got 3 licks. I cried and went back to class whimpering. My biggest fear was what my parents would do to me when I got home. Apparently they felt the licks were enough, or they were never told about the note passing. Either way, I never passed a note again. I’m thankful now I had disciple when I was growing up or who knows where I’d be. Today, kids lack teacher or parental guidance. Frankly, people are afraid of kids. What a shame! Kids need some tough love. Believe me, they will be thankful when they become adults that someone loved them enough to discipline them. ♥️
Paddling a kid for passing notes in class is a bit much, especially for a first offense. Did you even know better at that age?
@@mharris5047 it was first time I’d passed a note. Never passed a note again. Lol
Not all of us are afraid. I have my Grandaon that comes to stay and his friends know to behave about this grandma... cause she is not foolin. 😂
When I was growing up everyone had guns in their home and they were not locked up (usually sitting in a corner) but we never ever tried to play with them as our parents not only taught us they were not a toy but we knew if we touched them our behinds were going to get a whoopin. Never had shootings, accidental shootings of one kid to another, didn’t have mass shootings or school shootings, etc. I graduated High School in 1987 so it’s not been that long since people had common sense and parents knew how important discipline of their children was and schools were still disciplining kids by whipping their behinds. I miss those days. They were so much better and more fun for everyone. ❤
I want a psychologist to discuss why that is. What changed? We all had guns in our rooms. You did not touch. Dad would beat your tail. Taught you respect for it anyway.
@@garlicgirl3149 That's because "psychologists" today are not helping at all. They're espousing the liberal lifestyle, which makes everyone weaker.
One of my 7th grade teachers who was loved by the kids would paddle those who he had to to restore respect and discipline and authority. Isn't that something? Even the students knew where his heart was even when having to paddle a student or two. He cared enough to do what he really didn't want to do, but had to.
We had rifles in the rear windows at school. The school was more concerned about smoking cigarettes than anything else
The only violence in school back then was the paddle in the principal’s office.
Amen, James.....telling it LIKE...IT...IS !!!!!!! It is the PARENT'S responsibility to take control of the child, not society !!!! In my day parents, and even neighborhood parents, watched out for children, and if the kid got into trouble, watch out when he or she got home !!!!!
And that abusive outlook got us where we are now, amazing.
My dad was the same way and I wouldn't trade my upbringing with anyone. We minded our parents at all times.
The real problem is thugs breeding thugs
You just hit the nail on the head.
No. The problem is mental illness and a lack of parental supervision. Some people really don't know their kids.
There are no more dads with steel backbones and a lot of the kids are getting raised on the streets.
@@AngryRantsAndStuff - That's just what he said, using different words. Kids arent born 'thugs'. They are Programmed. Thugs programming thugs. And NO one in charge (ie: holding elective office) who cares to do a damn thing about it.
@AngryRantsAndStuff Hmmmmm, our oldest son's hoodie/sagging/grille/gangsta vocabulary has nothing to do with mental health. It has everything to do with his choices in mode of living after leaving home. His two out of wedlock children not getting child support is not what he was raised to think was ok--that's not mental health, it's personal choices. Taking drugs and becoming violent in this home got him ejected permanently--not mental health, personal choices. My wife and I pray for the spirit of addiction to be removed in the name of Jesus. We wait, we live on. Personal choices.
Wise wise words, my friend.
James Gregory for president!
We fought our own fights in school. We went outside duked it out or went down the street. You lose the fight or win. You both went on with life. None of this wimpy group gangsta stuff, yes Gangstas are weak. If it takes more than one, you and your loser buddy to fight one , your a loser.
That is true, aye. If someone joined in on the fight, on your side, you would be so ashamed! Getting beaten is one thing, being *seen* as so weak you cannot fight your own battles is quite another.
Also, altho' it sounds like playgrounds of the past were a bloodbath of gladiatorial combat, they really weren't. Because we grew up play-fighting with our siblings and our friends and we learned how far and how hard was enough - you didn't need to beat someone half to death to know who had the 'best of it' in a fight.
There were of course those who didn't know when to quit and some who were vicious SOB's who hurt more than they needed to but they were the exceptions.
You’re also my kind of people. I’m in blessed company here. ☦️👍
a lot of the time someone you fought with one day might be your buddy the next day
Ikr. Nowadays if you get in a fight at school you get suspended at best and worst case scenario you go to jail
Does that count my multiple personalities?
There was a LOT of school violence when I was young in the 80s. But it was pretty much limited to fist fights. That didn't make anyone who was on the receiving end of a beating by popular kids at school feel any better, and it didn't help when they couldn't be punished because they had a big game that week. That having been said, we all survived.
Except for the ones that didn't survive.
In my area, people settled their problems individually-no sides, no gangs, and NO WEAPONS. If a kid drew a knife (we all carried knives, even the girls), then that’s when everyone hit him, and he was forever ostracized. What happened at home was more to be feared following misbehavior. We had Bible studies back then as well. Go figure.
That's the point. Fighting happened 300 years ago, too, but you didn't bring a military gun to school to wipe everyone off. You fought then moved on.
@garlic girl Also, if a kid made a horrible threat, his father instantly corrected him both verbally and physically. Yesterday’s culture raised people; today’s culture raises freaks.
Obviously, it’s NOT a “gun problem.”
Very true
As a society we don’t hold people responsible for behavior
There’s always an excuse that for some reason is acceptable
Imagine how rare school shootings would be if public schools punished the bullies instead of the victims. My middle/high school punished victims of violent bullying if they hit back in any form whatsoever, legally forced kids to take punches until help arrived for them, and hope they believed you.
Yeah, I've seen this first hand - aren't the policies set in place by partyline voting DNC shitlords grand?
That was what the school tried to tell me when my son was jumped in high school by three other male students. I mentioned I would see them in court if they expelled my son. They decided that he had a right to self-defense.
During hunting season when I was a kid, the high school parking lot had enough firepower for an army. And we had zero problems. Small town, rural communities were always cool like that, and that’s why it’s not wise for elitists to mess with real America.
Rural dweller here as well, I have a hunch our high school goers still do that here, they just keep them out of sight in the vehicles now. Either in a case or under a seat, depending on the type
The Army ROTC classroom had very real rifles. With very real bullets.
We would practice in a target range in a school classroom. The Army Sargent had a very real pistol to shoot us with if we ever acted up.
Some of the teachers carried pistols.
This was in a middle class school circa 1970.
My grandfather used to take his rifle to school every day. As did all his friends. This was in Houston in the late 1940s-early 1950s. No school shootings. No nothing. There is something wrong with our culture. Kids aren't allowed to bring so much as a steel toothpick and yet there are shootings all over the country.
Approximately 40 years ago, the paddle left our grade schools... along with the healthy fear of authority.
Approximately 25 years ago Michigan banned the use of corporal punishment by parents. Things really took a turn for the worse at that time.
Back then, parents raised their kids and did not leave it up to baby sitters, who could care less about your kids.
kids actually used to bring guns to school, their rifles, and go hunting with their friends after school, because parents, fathers mostly, taught their kids how to responsibly handle firearms
And in most countries no kids ever touch guns at all..
@@dusermiginte4647wrong
Yes, it's TRUE. I remember this happening in 84 in NJ (if you can believe that!)
The high school I went to in FL the kids brought their rifles or shotguns depending on what hunting season it was we even learned how to field dress a deer one of my friends killed on his way to school 1 day
@@shootincoyotes lol, how am I wrong?
Bring back paddles!!! I remember the day when every teacher in school had a paddle in their desk drawer and kids were scared of the teacher and scared of their parents. Most kids knew if they got a whipping in school they would get one at home. It might have been a law. When they took paddling out of schools and declared spanking child abuse, they put children who cannot read or add 2+2 in charge.
This is TEACHING FEAR NOT RESPECT. FEAR BREEDS ANGER, RESENTMENT & REVENGE, RESPECT CREATES
STRONG & CAPABLE ADULTS.
❤
I would not want to be the teacher who paddles a kid these days cause there will be revenge taken. ,
@@ak-488 Exactly! FEAR BREEDS REVENGE & RESENTMENT NOT RESPECT.
When the government took control of children away from parents. Here are the consequences alive in living colours of f’d up!
@@amichaels1871 Or, healthy fear of authority.
Like you should be watching todays MSM with a healthy skepticism.
Getting my behind warmed up didn't make me hate my father. It made me realize he was serious..... I will remember not to do that again.
The first steps to teaching children self "discipline". You will use to your benefit the rest of your life. Discipline......
It comes down to discipline. Not only did parents properly discipline kids when I was young, but teachers had wooden paddles (with holes drilled in for added pain) and would use them often when a student acted up.
Some people should never have that power, I took a hit straight in the small of my back from one of those teachers. Then he doubled down and lied, saying I flinched. Plenty of people abuse their authority, and hide it.
That’s true. A couple teachers in my dad’s time got severely beaten by angry fathers for that very reason, and this is such a conservative area that “alternative lifestyles” don’t exist.
I still have dots on my behind from them swats. But it did work I did not act up after that
Really?
In the 1950's there were 32 school shootings. Adjusting for population gain that's only about 20% fewer than we had from 2000-2009.
I'm very sorry that the truth is that children have been taking their guns - or mom and dad's guns - to school to solve problem since forever.
I'm very sorry I stepped in with the truth. You are, of course, more of a victim than the shooting victims you will discard and ignore.
In my grade school in the 70's if a teacher had to paddle a student there was a requirement for a second teacher to witness the first teacher paddle. Teachers did not like having to paddle a student so it didn't happen often.
So True.I wish that they had the Authority to carry a weapon in school.With the Teachers carrying a weapon they will think about what they are doing carrying a gun to school with the Teachers being Armed Also.❤❤
Yet a paddle ruled the day for over 50 years without a single recorded death. It's a sad commentary that a gun is even needed.
I have been a teacher for 37 years and partly agree with you. I would not trust many of these new teachers with a firearm.
@@robertlundquist5450 training, training, and more training. That's the watch word when it comes to responsibly handling firearms. It should be 100% voluntary, but training should be required for any teacher who wants to carry a firearm on the job. Make it concealed only, so no one gets the wrong idea and no one knows who is actually carrying, but have the option open for anyone willing to bear that burden of responsibility.
This man takes the truth, and put's it over in a funny way. I'm Welsh, and only just discovered him.
How true it is!!
That simple to answer. Because back then we had something called DISCIPLINE. Teachers, parents and people in positions could discipline unruly and disruptive children. Today it's sensitivity training and time outs. Pretty obvious which method worked better.
There was plenty of violence in school in my day, bullying, fights, teeth knocked out etc. School always has been and always will be a dangerous place to be.
In 1982 there was no way a school shooter would make it. ALL the boys had rifles or shotguns IN OUR TRUCKS!! We would have run to the truck grabbed our guns and went hunting!!!! None of us wanted to face our Fathers that night. “Son, you had a gun and you did nothing?!?!?” No way, no how.
1984 here and your dayum right.
Graduated in 85, and I agree.
You were a treasure James and will be missed. Thank you for the many laughs.
The year is 1992. My best friend for the how-to speech decided to show how to clean a revolver. So he brought is 8” barreled .44 magnum revolver to school. It stayed, unloaded, in the principal’s office until class and after the demonstration
Always had one parent at home,but modern greed means both parents have to work 24/7 to make ends meet,so kids go ferral
modern day lord of the rings problems. then you wonder why they banned that book in school being taught.
I am 45 years old. When I was young in my native country Philippines, we used to walk from and to school for about 2 kilometers each way. No violence at school nor on the road. We respected our teachers and our elders. Going back home , we sometimes hitchhike on those trailer trucks from the surrounding banana plantations, could be a father of a classmate or schoolmate. They were happy to take us in, we were happy being saved from walking home. Even when I was in university, we would hitchhike. On the weekends, we would always play in the field the whole day, going home only to eat lunch and when our mothers called us home or whistled. Those were the days when children were totally at a liberty to enjoy themselves and really played in the field.
In 1957 I was just a little kid...I do remember when Starkweather was on his killing spree.... I was about 8 or 9... There's always been violence wherever you were living...😓💔
I'm older than this boy, and I don't remember a time when there was no violence in school.
Students feared and respected their teachers, and they saw a visit to the Principal's office as Doomsday. The parents got the leftovers.
This guy makes so much sense
we got the board of education on the seat of understanding Nuff said
What makes this funny is that I went to school when teachers spanked us.
I remember being introduced to the neighbors and being told that in their house the rules were the same as at home and if I come home complaining about getting spanked I was in for another for needing to get spanked.
Through Jr. and high school most of us packed pocket knives.
My friends and I ran all over with loaded bb/pellet guns.
In high school during deer season the were deer rifles in truck window racks in the parking lot.
Cool. When was this, because you think your anecdotal experience erases reality.
60's?
70's?
There were 32 school shootings in the 50's.
There were 80 incidents from 2000-2009. But the population doubled.
So yeah. still a higher rate of occurrence 50 years later. But just a 25% increase. Hardly indicative of some golden age of no gun violence and no school shootings, huh?
Smart, funny, down to earth and honest as the day is long.
I started Kindergarten in 1950. Every year until 6th grade my father came with me to the opening day of school. He and the teacher introduced themselves to each other. Then my father had me sit down, and he told the teacher that if I misbehaved in school, she had his permission to spank me in front of the class. Then he added that she was to phone him to inform him about the matter, so he could be ready for me when I got home from school. As a result, I was never spanked at school, and my father never had to spank me for something that I did at school. After all, I didn't want Debbie to see me getting spanked in class.
😂😂
Truth in humor….but too many people don’t want to hear the truth.
And really don't want to hear they're stoopid!.😂
School “violence” was rampant in the Norristown Pennsylvania school district in the 70’s through the 80’s. We fought with our fists, brought guns to go hunting after school on many occasions. Never ever had the thought of using a weapon. Just how it was in my severally concussed head.
We used to have corporal punishment . Not just Daddy , but teachers paddling students misbehaving . They gave a warning to knock it off or get paddled . You had that choice , it was all on you .
And it did nothing for your generation besides give you an excuse to beat your child for doing anything wrong. At this point, children needed to rise up and fight back, parents are out of control useless peeons, who blame everyone but themselves for their own failures.
We are now dealing with the mess that the hippies of the 60’s brought us & now they are the ones trying to come up with the ways to fix this. This is the epitome of of craziness!
RIP James . We can hear the laughter from here.
Correct about parents and respect, but I would guess for those 370 years it was more likely those kids were armed in some way. Well into the early part of the last century there were many places where students brought firearms to school. They would leave them in a corner or at the back of the room during class. Many schools owned firearms and supported shooting sports and safety. The change is not the firearms it is the people and goes back to the parents and respect.
I’m 51 now, and my disclaimer, I am a Texan. My dad told me when he was in high school they had “Cowboy day” they brought real guns to school. Respect and responsibility has left America.
Misread that as “I’m 5’1 now” xD
Im 70 and we definitely had violence in school when I went.
Strange when my ADHD vanished when my father's belt appeared.
Amen !!❤
I’m am 53, when I was in high school we could have our rifles and shotguns in the back of a truck still. I remember that they had just ended the principal of the schools being able to break out the “wood paddle” and give you a spanking for getting out of line ,because your mother and father had signed a permission note. I say bring back the paddle at schools and in your homes when your kids get out of line at home and school,
When growing up, my father had a twenty-two rifle under the open area basement steps. I know it was there, but I never would touch it. Dad told me it was off limits that means it was off limits. And forget guns and violence for a moment. If I had ever spoken to my teachers the way the kids do today, I don't think I'd wanna go home. Mind you my parents were not against corporal punishment they just didn't use it. Being grounded oh yeah probably for a month maybe for the rest of the year. I think the worst would have been the disappointment that they wouldn't be able to hide.
A man I worked with told about his 6 year old boy finding his rifle. TBH, it was on the cleaning bench taken apart. his boy walked in and asked what it was. Daddy, what is that. He said it was his rifle. he saw the curiosity rising. He put the gun back together and taught his son the rules of gun safety for a 6 year old (if you see one, come and get me, do not touch it) his son asked what it did. He told him, I hunt dinner with it, I chase bad animals away with it. his boy asked if and when he could learn about how to hunt dinner. He took him over to his brother (uncles) farm and he gave him, at 6 the four rules of gun safety. The boy did not ever abuse a firearm. There was no
mystery" about it. it was how dads get dinner, no big deal. The boy is grown and hunts, shoots paper and owns firearms. They are tools, just like a set of wrenches or a screwdriver. The boy was 8 years old before he ever heard a shot being fired. they were at a gun range. He knows a gun is a tool for gathering food and protecting his animals from predators.
When I was a kid in Jr high, the worst that would happen, is you would hear a rumor that two people were going to meet behind the gym after school and have a fist fight. Most of the time, one of them didn't even show up. That was back in the 70's.
So Wise , Thank You
The worst thing we did was chew gum
Gregory is great and hilarious - love his humor
You go James! Amen!
You nailed it! Bravo!
When I went to school we had prayer, pledge to America, and we were taught "Do unto others
as would you want them to do to you."
Well, we started with 24 hour weather which became news. Then 24 hour news which became entertainment. Then "every child gets a trophy" so no one will be left out. Therein lies the rub. We humans have manufactured our own misery.
Tell it like it T... I... is!
He makes a very valid point.... enough said.
If we misbehaved at school, we got spanked at home.
After we got spanked at school.
@@sebbonxxsebbon6824 And it made you the most worthless generation.
THANK YOU...Problem SOLVED!
My dad used to take his rifle to school with him and walk right in to put it in his locker so he could go hunting after school. Nobody gave it a thought.
Perfect ! Thank YOU !!!!!!
Back then we were taught about guns, how to use them, and how to respect them. We were also taught about teachers and schools and how to respect them, too. We all knew that they worked their tails off for very little pay.
We were taught by our parents and grandparents that we were supposed to work hard in school and learn something worthwhile so that we could leave our homes, get a job, and contribute to our families and communities in an intelligent and productive manner.
No, we didn't have shootings in school. But, we certainly could have. A lot of us had guns in our cars and trucks so that we could go hunting after school. Some of us were on the school shooting teams.
Although it wasn't a "thing", none of us would have had even a second thought if our teachers had loaded shotguns mounted on the walls behind their desks - just like we had at home. Of course, back then they didn't need them. Now perhaps they do: at least until "society" gets its act together.
New Yorker here. Contrary to what most of you think about NY, it wasn’t that long ago when my high school had a rifle team and went to compete against other high schools on Long Island.
Oh, and we both made fun of each other’s accents, sometimes rolling on the floor just laughing! 😂
Funny and true. This guys awesome
Allow teachers to conceal carry on campus.
That's not my experience! Having to deal with a bully every day was my reality in HS!
Hit the nail on the head, my man.
Amen and Hallelujah!!
LOL That Teacher will K your A. 😂😂😂😂😂
Amen, brother! There’s no school like the old school 😂🙏❤️🇺🇸
The lack of will to discipline people is beginning to leak into the workplace.
In the 70s we just settled it at the Friday night football game….or outside right then if it had to be done
There was a lot of school violence when I was a kid. Teachers had a paddle and knew how to use it.
I'm 66 years old and when I was a kid going to school, school violence was nothing more than a fist fight. Guns were unheard of.
Respect needs to be taught into people's homes and it needs to be enforced again. People have been afraid to teach their kids respect and this is what's been happening.
When I was young. If I got in trouble I was more afraid of going home seeing 2 disappointed parents than being arrested.
I’m 56 and I remember growing up in a small town. It was not unusual to see pickup trucks in the student parking lot with hunting rifles on the gun racks mounted by the rear window. Nobody said anything, nobody cared. Sometimes there were fist fights in school, but never any weapons used.
When my dad was a kid he took a gun to school all the time. And nobody batted an eye at it.
My grandpa would have asked did you get one.
I graduated from high school in 71 and I have never seen a policeman in my schools ever. This was in Texas.
In the 50s and 60s schools down here had gun safety classes. When I was in highschool every other student vehicle in the school parking lot had a gun rack with guns mounted in it. Nobody would have even considered taking their gun into the school building.
Was a teacher and i wholeheartedly agree with him.
I graduated high school in 1986. I threw a desk at my teacher in the ninth grade. How was that problem corrected. My dad took me to school the next day & in the same class period, in front of my classmates, my whooped my butt. A couple of months later my asst. principal was administering 2 swats per day instead of 3 days detention. He broke his paddle on my butt on the first swing. I laughed at him. Did my parents sue the school? No! My father came up to the school. Asked my asst. principal how many swats I was suppose to be getting (6), & how many I had received (1). My father then told the principal let me show you how to administer swats to me. My father gave me the 5 I still had coming, then he gave me 5 more for disrespecting my asst. principal by laughing at him. That night when my father got home from work, due to his house rules, I got my whooping for getting swats in school. Discipline! Today I'm a honorably discharged veteran, who owns a trucking company. Bible says spare the rod, spoil the child. Dad didn't raise any spoiled brats.
