Physical Education was the most casually abusive, naturally. The worst I've seen is a "Coach" throwing a kid against a cinder-block wall after the child made a smart remark that contained no obscenities. So not so bad then. When I read the school stories of my father (who went to grade school in the 50s) I realize that I got off easy.<br /><br />They used to make us do military drills out on the "football" field. "Present Arms" and all of that. One year, the military drills disappeared mysteriously and were replaced with Square Dancing. It's a form of dancing one does to militant music while somebody bellows directions through the whole thing. The dancers must swiftly reproduce these directions as physical motions. Imagine the sounds that were played on an ancient reel-to-reel to provide rhythmic accompaniment. Kind of like a honky tonk Henry Flynt. Or if NEU! had greasy violins.<br /><br />You tell that to the kids of today, etc.Spacious Specioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08066713949210594997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-72282884238466488252021-04-27T13:52:30.307+02:002021-04-27T13:52:30.307+02:00Gotta love the way 'cunt' rolls off the to...Gotta love the way 'cunt' rolls off the tongue in the UK.
