Question

What was the best thing in school in ireland in old times?

Answer 1

Not exaclty the 'old days' but I was a 90's kid, and swapping fancies in the playground is my memory. Had a teacher that used to  throw chalk at us aswell when we 'misbehaved'. The craic we used to have trying to dodge it :-)

Thanks be to the lord I wasnt in school when the cane was about, I'd have been rightly screwed!

Answer 2

The best thing about school for me was usually going on the hop. I hated school...

Answer 3

Nothing but i can tell you there was alot of bad things that happend. Like having your lights punched out!! Schools throughout Ireland were notorious for hitting children. (I'm talking about 20,30 or 40 years ago)

Even when i was at school, we were punched, hit and made to sit on our knees for hours on end.

And nothing was said!! Can you believe if that craic went on nowadays?!!!
