Gray Beard Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 A fire at Westford Academy. Oh man. That’s my alma mater. It’s not a private school, it’s just what they call the high school in Westford, Mass. I think it was a private school many, many decades ago. A suburb of wealthy families. I doubt that my family could afford to live there today. I will guess that a spoiled rich kid is to blame for the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 1 hour ago, SlimShady'sGhost said: remember these? Yep, I vividly remember the principal of my first elementary school having a paddle shaped and painted like a tennis racket proudly on display. One time in kindergarten, our whole class had to march down to his office to watch a classmate get “paddled”. The kid bawled his eyes out, but in hindsight I’m pretty sure there was no actual physical pain, just shame and embarrassment. Still, a pretty jacked up way of doing things. This was a public school, circa 1980. Then I switched to Catholic school in 2nd grade. There was no corporal punishment, however, those nuns played some terrifying psychological games. Hell, I’d take the paddle over Sister Jane Marie’s coffee breath all up in my grill any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a friggin Louisville Slugger that he planed down into a paddle. He had broken/crackedit at least once, so the business end was wrapped in fiber glass. That dude was a dick, but also kind of a cool mofo. He did teach us all to crush the other man's hand when you shake hands. We were going to some wood skills event, and he wanted us to shake hands with one other teacher there, I guess to show how tough his kids were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
