[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3094571, member: 10465"] cipal [B][U][/U][/B] I can. I was in that sub-group mentioned above. A few things we were taught then that I do not believe we are taught now: Please, correct me if I am wrong (I'm sure some will). - The Pledge of Allegiance - The National Anthem - Respect for Authority, like for Teachers, Policemen, & even adults in general ( To be addressed as: Mr. ____, Mrs. ____ ,or Miss ____). - How to make change - How to hide under my desk, hands on the back of my head, in case the Russians launched an atomic bomb on us. (About as useful as today's drills for an active shooter). - How to diagram a sentence - How to balance a checkbook - Long and short division - How to use the card catalog in the library - I also learned, albeit somewhat slowly, that if I did something against the rules, like fighting, throwing spit wads, talking back, or chewing gum in class, that I could expect swift, and certain disciplinary action in the form of "swats" or "licks" to my recalcitrant butt. In my case, this seems as if it was a somewhat slower than normal learning process. I spent an awful lot of time sitting on that bench outside the principal's office, waiting for the administration of discipline, quietly thinking and wringing my clammy hands, as I lamented yet [I]another[/I] poor choice.
