Reddit user u/theSandwichSister asked the 80s and 90s kids on the forum, “What’s something a school teacher did to you that would not fly today ?” A lot of the responses were about the type of physical punishment and humiliation that used to happen in schools that would never happen these days .

Schools seem to be much more friendly environments to students who are people of color, LGBTQ or have disabilities.

" English teacher in high school used to cuss kids out for being noisy in class and if that didn't work, he'd throw the blackboard eraser at us" " Cheese Day in the Midwest was in first grade for an entire day , all you ate was cheese puffs, curls, sticks, slices, balls, balls and Doritos " "They told us Pluto was a planet." "Best math teacher ever made us say numerator/denominator in Schwarzenegger voices as we were learning fractions".
