AlanHo Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I started so many fights at my school - but I had that attention-deficit disorder - so I didn't finish a lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 When I was at school, attention deficit disorders hadn't been invented. If you didn't pay attention, you received a clip round the ear. If you still didn't pay attention a visit to the headmaster's study was arranged to receive a number of lashes of the cane. The prospect of that kept all wandering thoughts in abeyance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalph Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Our teachers were an inspiration. They inspired us to stay away. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
