REO SCHOOL BEATINGS
J C writes > This is so stupid. Sure there was a ban but no on stopped them speaking it at home.
Don’t forget kids were caned in those days for chewing gum, talking back, getting spelling wrong, writing with their left hands.
My mother lived through those times and they had three Maori nuns who aught them Maori songs and games no problems.
There have ALWAYS been that teacher who caned for any reason they were on a power trip. My brothers (NOT MAORI) were caned regularly especially one smart mouth brother and girls got the strap or ruler.
I got the ruler across the knuckles regularly for incorrect notes during music lessons and strap for talking in class.
Stop with the whining and bleating blaming everyone else for your language dying out don’t tell me Maori were scared to speak it in their homes they were a warrior race and never been meek or mild. Just too damn lazy.
Greeks kept their forbidden language alive underground from the Turks for hundreds of years yet a few years and Maoris blame pakeha get over themselves. (woman white dress)
