You and brother had problems getting used to the "rigid,puritanical rules (too nice words for the institutional jail-like systems that still exist here). Today, here, the "pill system" is order #1, student disruptive - just give student a pill!!!!! For every study that is done, and for every "new" idea to solve the learning problems, there are 10 school boards that cling to the old methods, and "new" ideas are evil to them!!
