alan, I met with some old school friends a couple of weeks ago. there were five of us, all comparing notes about our time in high school. we hadn't seen each other for a couple of decades and talked mostly of good memories and funny things that had happened. Other things camne up. The women present had both been touched sexually, one by a teacher and the other by a senior male student when she was 12. The men had all been caned mercilessly by various male teachers. School in those days was a pretty rough experience - the strange thing was that none of us spoke to each other at the time about what had happened, we all grew up feeling that there was something wrong with us. it was incredible to talk about it all 35 years later.
