They must have been quite well indoctrinated then. My mother sent
me to a catholic school out of respect for my paternal grandmother
(my father's family was, still are I suppose, staunch catholics) I
didn't stay through the first grading period. One of those nuns was
a bitch of the first order who routinely started a day by smacking
the snot out of the first kid who did anything at all she didn't
like ... it went down hill from there .. I went home just once with
the mark of a ruler across my face then I was out of there. In those
days those nuns were no more qualified to teach than the man in the
moon.
JK> Most of the time, 90% of the administration and teaching staff in any

No argument from me on that one....
