What are things that you look back on and go "How the heck was I allowed to do this"?

1 Answer

Answer :

Not me, but more like “How the heck were people allowed to do this?” When I was in kindergarten, I was thrown into the bathroom for not singing a song correctly. I was also cut on the hand with scissors for not staying in line. There was once when it was bedtime and I was among the kids who were sleeping in a cold and wet surface, so I took the opportunity while the teacher was away to move up to a more comfortable place though still cold and wet. When the teacher came back, I was beaten and put back to the old place. If it was today the teachers taking care of me would have been charged with child abuse and had their names ridiculed all over the Internet.
