I was talking with somebody who got offended because the school won't allow "stimming" for students. Lol, I remember back then, when nobody took child psychology seriously and the primary school teachers used corporal punishments as teaching tools. I remember some kids, probably on the spectrum, that received so many ruler strikes on their finger that they ended up bleeding all over. More than one had to leave school because "they won't stop fidgeting". The other kids used to bully them horribly afterwards, since the teacher used to vent their frustrations on us after having their way with them. I wonder where they ended up, with little education and loads of untreated mental issues. No wonder so many people of my generation are totally mentally fouled up.
Was that a thing, back then in UK? I wonder if it was only linked to my s***hole country. I was born it the 70's, by the way
I started school in 1967 , I had a delayed language development condition and I was almost totally mute until the age of eight. I was subject to daily beatings by teachers at my primary school, often twice a day sometimes three punishment beatings in one day. When people talk about the good old days or them being the best days of your life. I want to cry and scream.

Me too. I had elderly relatives who used to say that to me when I was a child, desperately trying to explain how much I hated school. It made me even more fearful about the future and I used to think if this is as good as it gets I don't like this world
