For starters your parents would have made sure you know how to spell "discipline". Probably force you to do your English and spelling lessons before you even had the oppurtunity to go hanfg with your pals. That is of course unless your father died and you went to work at the age of 13 on a farm, shining shoes or as a runner for the telegraph service to help support the family.
Of course being born in 1920 or 1921 would have made you a prime candidate for the draft and hustled into the service by the end of '41, beginning of '42.

In today's world it's parents that should be seen and not heard. There is LITERALLY little or no discipline at home. It's a contest as to what parent can spoil their kid the most and every thing is a big event.
It may have been rough then, but kids nowadays are out of control and it's their parents fault. Parenting is at an all time low.

It was very strict and any disobedience or disrespect was not tolerated...corporal punishment was the order of the day. The razor strop was a favorite implement. Used on the buttocks.

well Joe Kennedy's discipline was when his daughter rosemary kept sneaking out her window and acting like any other teenager or any other young lady in her time,was to have her an operation called a lobotomy.a brain operation that left her mentally incapacitated what we use to call retarded.this was his discipline for those times.

They all beat there kids and let teachers beat them with sticks. It worked I guess but was pretty brutal.
