By both the nuns and the lay teachers. We had one teacher who would turn his class ring around, on his finger, and whack boys across the top of their the heads with it.

My mother never believed the stuff I told her. Then when I went to my 20 year high school class reunion, I met up with a bunch of former parochial school classmates. We all had the exact same memories of what went on.

I don't have a lot of good memories of that place.
