Mulling over George Pope to STEVE ASHER 24 Jan 2005

SA> Whatever happened to the simple & effective practice of rostering
SA> teachers for "yard duty" while the children were on recess and
SA> lunch breaks?

 GP> Teachers won't do it!

 GP> (because school boards won't supply flak vests!)

They didn't need flak vests in my day. Teachers were well-armed with
the yard-stick & the cane, and occasionally used them on me. :)
(A yard-stick was a heavy three foot long ruler, used for ruling lines
on the blackboard, and for thumping the occasional backside)

Teachers probably don't use chalk & blackboards now.

Cheers, Steve..
