Amen to that. 'Course I went to an all-boys, Catholic high school. Even in the early '90s, wall-to-wall counseling was not an uncommon occurrence. I can't even imagine what would have happened if a student was dumb enough to raise their hand to a teacher.

As scared as I was of Father Tom wuppin’ my butt, I was ten times more afraid of what would happen when I got home and my folks found out I’d been screwing up at school...
