Ho God how I remember those times.

From a young age, we had to lug textbooks and notebooks (and a lunch box) to and from school, after which we sat down to do long hours of homework — as dictated by a rote education-based system. The downside of not completing homework was either caning, getting rapped on the knuckles with a ruler, or some other form of corporal punishment that the teacher deemed appropriate for this minor infraction.

Ho God how I remember those times. My brother was the last pupil to get the cane before it was banned. As for lugging books, well, it built up my muscles!
