@brenda1944 ...born during war in uk 1943 .. another word: anxiety. I know I was born anxious! I will attest to the mean-ness of both doctors and teachers. We were frightened and intimidated by both. However now many teachers dare not look twice at a pupil and family drs,. at least here are overworked. Yep when i was about 8 got the cane across hand cos anotehr child and i spoke to the workmen working in playgrounds when we had been told not to: do that today and probably the school would be sued.

That’s true Lacy. Parents were intimidated by teachers and doctors in England
I was bullied 1948-1955 about. I was timid and small so one teacher gave me knuckles on the head most days. What did that do to an 5 yr old brain. Another made fun about my glasses to make the class laugh while I stood and cried. Mr Rodger’s said I was deaf too! Bullying from the other kids also made it hell to go to school. I think it really affected me for life. I’m still angry at the knuckles on head teacher!!MissHumphrey. Nowadays teachers and doctors would be arrested for the abuse I saw. Baby Boomers in England got it all.
