One of the priests at my high school was a golden gloves boxer in his younger days and in his first few years at the school - late 60s/early 70s - if kids were caught fighting on school grounds their punishment was getting in the ring and going a few rounds with the good padre.

There wasn't much of a fighting problem at the school back then.

The older brothers of my best friend growing up used to love telling the story about one of their friends who slapped a nun one day at school. The dean of discipline and the above priest cleared the classroom, locked the door and beat the holy hell out of the kid.

When I was in fifth grade we had a male teacher who had a very short fuse. Turns out he was bipolar but nobody knew it back then. He used to threaten us all the time when the class got out of hand.

The one I remember is "This fist sends you to the hospital. This fist sends you to the cemetery."

And your parents paid good money to send you there.

As well they should. How many kids get taught by ambidextrous teachers?

Grade school was pretty cheap. Plus back then it was considered a good thing if the teachers smacked the kids around when they got out of hand.

High school was too, now that I think about it. Of course by the time I got to high school they weren't really knocking people around anymore.

I can go along with that.

Couldn't have just threatened to stab the eyes out with a soldering (sp?) iron like Christopher Walkin in Joe Dirt?

In second grade I was paddled in choir because I was singing like Donald Duck.
