[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4104775, member: 45785"] Actually, you did to have that going on in your day. You probably just didn't know about it because that was "family business" and most people didn't talk about it to non-family. And it wasn't illegal, once upon a time, for a kid to be sent to the store to get cigarettes or booze. The circle time and sharing is fairly new, in some locations, but not others. It's a Montessori thing, and that's only been around since 1906... Now there are reporting requirement for teachers who find out about this stuff. And consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs are more regulated than they were back then. We also know more about the effects of those drugs than they did then. Doctors used to prescribe booze and smoking. Don't see to much of that going on anymore. There is a new warning out, gov't. required, that nicotine changes your brain, for example. You can see it over the registers when you're checking out, now. My teacher career was very short, but only ended in 2012. [/QUOTE]
