(3,972 posts)There was a big wood paddle with a handle that was kept in the window of the principal's office as a threat. We kids called it the "Board of Education." I was only beaten once by a cranky old nun who hit me in the small of my back with her cane when I missed a math problem. I now have arthritis in that spot. Their favorite form of punishment was humiliation in front of everyone. I bet some of my classmates are still in therapy for the cruel sh!t they did to us.

(9,773 posts)would stand us about six inches away from the blackboard facing it, back to the class. Youd stand there fearing the worst then she would, only sometimes, push your head from behind so your forehead would smash into the blackboard. Never knew if or when it would come. Early 60s.
Anticipation of pain is one torture technique. Start of my reasons for quitting being a catholic.

Also, yep, they sure do look like other stones.
