The nuns who taught us were hardened veterans of the classroom and knew how to curb the youthful impulses of an unruly mob. Marine Corps drill instructors could learn a lesson or two about discipline from these women.
How did they do it? (I hear you ask).
It wasn't so much a case of how they did it as it was what they did it with. You see, each nun had one or more clickers (seen below).

When Catholic school children misbehaved, the nuns would point the clicker at the offending individual(s) and click madly at them until they were shamed into submission. However hokey it might sound, it worked. There's something about an angry nun scowling at you and pointing an active clicker in your face that gets you to straighten out your act.

That said, I think that there's an answer to the many challenges that face our country in the upcoming years. While each reader can fill in the blanks, I would like to see the U.S. have a citizens' action committee that oversees our elected officials. Whenever they can't get the job done (which is often) the action committee will unleash a group of 50 or so angry nuns who will storm down the aisles of the Congress and Senate. Armed with their clickers and angry scowls, the nuns will shape up our government in two weeks flat.
Once that's complete, on to the Supreme Court.
ISIS, watch out - you're next.
Readers, enjoy your day.
