"How our parents were taught"

In the framework of our Comenius Regio project, the team of teachers who participate in the project, organized and presented, in cooperation with the school advisor, an exposition of Greek school books of the period 1960-2000.

The coordinator of the project Mrs Prantzou-Kanioura, at the opening of the exposition.

A brief narration

"Why don't you, donkeys, shut up?......"

The following is a brief narration by a student of our school in the 1950's showing the sense of humour of the students of that time and the jokes they played on their teachers.

"Why don't you, donkeys, shut up?........"

The teacher was at his desk and the students at theirs.Late May. The weather was getting warmer and warmer and the classroom windows were open.It was about three or four in the afternoon.
After lunch, in that afternoon heat, everyone was relaxed and felt sleepy.
The teacher went on talking in a perfect local dialect.Some students kept notes of the funny things he said e.g he changed some words because, in this way, he thought that his accent was more sophisticated!He often called his students "donkeys" when he wanted to tell them off.
While he was teaching his drowsy students, some ducks were heard quacking as they were proudly crossing the school yard. Perhaps the teacher himself either felt sleepy or was absent-minded or he might even have been very concentrated on his teaching subject, so he confused one of our classmate's surname- Pappis which means duck,-with the lovely birds,and completely out of the blue he slapped his hands on the desk shouting:" You, donkey, Pappi,shut up!"
Our classmate, surprised and apparently annoyed, said that he had nothing to do with the ducks which were walking in the schoolyard quacking and added: "But, sir, it's not me!It's the ducks!" and our teacher looking out of the window said:
"Why don't you, donkeys, shut up?"
