Members John81 Posted August 2, 2014 Members Share Posted August 2, 2014 During recess we used to play cops and rOBbers, cowboys and Indians, war, holding our fingers like guns and making shooting sounds. Today they expel children from school for such play and they are marked as a potential danger; or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Covenanter Posted August 2, 2014 Members Share Posted August 2, 2014 Lovely story, with a moral! I wonder how much the official solution cost, compared with buying enough crayons! While I never got into trouble for it, my favourite drawing implement was black pencil - because I wanted detail. I couldn't get on with charcoal or brush because they were so imprecise. In WWII I drew on anything white - envelopes, food & cigarette packets, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Doc Flay Posted August 11, 2014 Members Share Posted August 11, 2014 My father told me when he was in school, they had a project to cut out paper dolls. The instructions were "just follow the line" well that worked good until he got to the neck line of the dress and accidentally cut off the doll's head. The teachers response was not to call a psychoanalyst but to hall off and smack him right across the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Covenanter Posted August 11, 2014 Members Share Posted August 11, 2014 We noticed our table cloth had been cut - very neatly along the pattern lines. One of our boys, & a pair of scissors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John81 Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 These days I'm sure one could find a lawyer seriously willing to file alphabetical name discrimination charges against a school and sue them for some huge sum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
