15 years of Catholic education here. Most nuns and priest were tough to very tough, but they had to be. Nuns in my grammar school had at least 50 children per class room. I didn't like the nuns then, but later in life I appreciated all they did to not only teach us well, but we learned respect and discipline. Back then, there was no A.D.D. If you didn't pay attention, and you failed even just one subject, you had to repeat the entire grade next year. No excuses, no private tutoring, no remedial learning. So, every nun was special and taught us very well. Thank you Sisters.
