I have similar memories of teacher who used to use her ruler similarly! It’s hard to comprehend that level of cruelty today, but we know that physical punishment isn’t the only way to demean and break the spirit of children! My granddaughter begins Kindergarten next week and I’ve been thinking about the “luck of the draw” when it comes to teachers! I also really love the consideration you’ve given to the lunchboxes we used to have and the simple nutrition! No frills perhaps, but real food! A lot of things have improved through the years, but I don’t think it’s the food supply! Alfie is a fortunately little guy to have so much support! It’s wonderful! 🙂

But it was vegemite and lettuce- fantastic in winter, but oh-so-gross-and-slimy in Queenlands 35* summer heat 🙁
My littlej had a beautiful teacher like that too. She even came to her birthday party and would save little bits of the school work to show us. The best thing was when she privately gave me back one of my daughters journal entries as she thought it was so funny and dangerous. Littlej had to write about her school holiday and complained bitterly about being held hostage for 2 weeks with no one looking after her and no ‘real’ food to eat. The teacher burst out laughing when I explained that my husband and I were BOTH bed ridden with pneumonia for the whole time, but adequate supervision and food had been provided- although of the TV and microwave varitiy 🙂

Celery and peanut butter is a new one to me – I actually thought it was tuna-mayo in the celery.

We, on the other hand, had to be seen and not heard… isn’t that right?

I had a teacher like that too. But then there were the gems. Lucky Archie for having Miss Bee. You must be so happy about that.

Dad never wanted anything special for any of the 3 of us but let a teacher mistreat one and all 5’7″ of him would send him non-stop until it was sorted. God help the teacher who would hit a student. Teachers Like Mrs. Dawson should never be allowed to teach because that’s not learning anything but fear.

We lived close enough to primary school that I could walk home for lunch and when I was older I went to a girls’ school and had to eat with the nuns, so I never had a school lunch. I feel left out. 🙂

Was it a case of not interfering with the teacher because she knew best? That really is a horrific story of teacher abuse – mentally and physically.

Awful!! I am so glad Alfie is having a better time this year.
