Following on from Prudie's post about pointless lessons, it seems worth giving this one an airing.
I'll open with the milk incident, some 51 years ago. My reception class teacher (a frozen old Miss) stopped the entire playground with The Whistle, yelled at me in my face and dragged me back into the classroom to force me to drink the lukewarm stinky milk I had not drunk.
Nobody had asked me if I wanted it - I never drank milk at home - and she brought in another teacher (her sister actually) to make nasty remarks about me while I was drinking.
well not drinking - it was coming out as quickly as it went in - so they gave up and the only consolation I have half a century later is that they would have to sort out the regurgitated milk in their breaktime.
You can knock school nowadays -but imagine the consequences if it they tried it now!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I can remember a couple of kids in my class regularly being sick after being made to drink school milk. I was lucky because I really loved it, and I just thought those two children were wimps. But looking back they could have had serious problems with dairy foods. With hindsight, that's a terrible thing to force children to do.
My worst experience was when I was about six and I didn't have my PE shorts with me for some reason, so the teacher made me do PE in vest and pants. No big deal to the teacher I suppose, but total humiliation to me.

When I was in primary school, I needed to go to the loo, put my hand up....
and as someone else had just come back, I was told no, I must hold it!
So, I peed myself, when I got home told my dad, who went to see the
old bat (she must have been in her 40's, but old to me) don't know
what he said, but guess who never had to 'hold it' again!

I had a similar situation to your milk one. The headmistress at junior school had a policy that the kids had to eat all of their food. I had a problem with raisin tart (which was like a large mince pie cut into portions). It made me gag. My Mum wrote to the school 3 times asking them not to make me eat it but they still did. I`d be sitting there with the raisin tart long after the other kids had gone back to class. Once I was sent outside and the bitch of a cook came out and made sarcastic remarks to me. I`ve never touched a mince pie since!
As I said in my previous post ..the bit I hated was six of the best from the head and six more if I didn't say Thank you Headmaster Sir...all on my tender 12 years old backside, all for the terrible crime of not wearing my Grammar school cap on the way home from school.........back in the 40s that was Mosaic...think you remarked that somebody would pay dearly for doing that today..
Can't say it did me any harm apart from the pink stripes, but it did teach me to keep on the perfectly staight and narrow....;-).

For me it was a food related incident as well, one day we were all told that someone was coming to visit the school, can't remember who, so it was important that we all eat our plates clean at lunch time. So what did they serve that day? Liver, which was disgusting, to cut a long story short, two teachers stood in-front of me until I'd eaten the piece of rubber on my plate. I've never touched the stuff since!
