the first primary school that I went to was very painful for me.
I was a bit slower than other children , as i had an under-active thyroid since birth.
One teacher I had in primary 5-6 Miss G hit me on the face because i couldn't do the sums.
I couldnt understand them. Also a teacher we had in the infant dept used to bring sweets for the whole class, to be shared. But the other teacher Miss G gave them all to the brainier kids, it wasnt fair. That teacher would have been sacked nowadays, and they didn't seem to care for children with special needs then im glad they do now.
On the whole, the the discipline in schools has gone to the other extreme...
