Yes, it was a different time, teachers had the right to yell at and punish students. When 30 years later one of my sons did the same studies as me, the teachers no longer had much right to punish the students and the students almost no longer had the right to touch the machines, it was the teachers who fixed the parts, adjusted the tools, selected the speeds, etc... and the students had the right to press the "on" button, all in the name of safety..... I gave him a little learned on my lathe but nothing to do with what I had learned in high school and then later in my engineering school.
