Maybe a soft walking principal with a large yardstick? Always worked in my
schools when I was a kid. Maybe you should both get elementary ed degrees
and start solving the problem.

Some teachers would prefer all their students nude and hadcuffed and
unconcious.

It does appear that in some places this is happening and the robotised nude
girls are being sold at the gate on school leaving day as sex pets of rich
people down the road, "after all what do girls need brain for their only
duty is sex for the men and why pay them anyway they are only working
class".

I understand they go at between

Do you have some figures that show that or did you hate school as a child?

Most teachers I know in the midwest USA would like to teach and have the
kids learn. They would also like more parental support on that task. Nude
and handcuffed has never been discussed. Maybe you are just exaggerating a
bit?

You are a professional victim. No doubt about it!

By the way Barbara, what is your profession? I mean, what do you do to put
bread on your table??

On propaganda by redefinition of words, Hubbard wrote, "The trick is -
words are redefined to mean something else to the advantage of the
propagandist." (reference: HCO PL 5 October 1971 "PR Series 12").
