Catholic School Humor at its Best!
I DON'T BRAKE FOR NUNS!
There are 2 Types of Adults in this World:
• Those Who Went to Catholic School, and
• Those Who are Glad They Didn't
This book is to be enjoyed by both types of people.
This book appeals to everyone who always wanted to go back to those days of yesteryear with an adult mind, and alter the course of classroom history.
Every student—young or old—can remember vividly the tyranny of the grade school classroom. Only a refugee of Catholic school, however, can extract so much humor out of such a restrictive and punitive experience.
The ones who went to Catholic School and endured the tyrant-like tirades of the nuns will identify with the experiences and observances depicted in this book.
Folks who never went to Catholic School certainly have heard the stories about the parochial-style teaching methods em- ployed by the nuns. Those who casually cruised through public school may come to think of Catholic School more like walking the plank of a pirate’s ship.
Maybe it was all a facade. Maybe nuns are just like people. Maybe they really are sensitive, caring individuals deep down inside. Maybe they really DO care about kids... ...Nah!
Oh, yeah? Why do you think they're called "nunchakus"?

Oh, there are some who will say Catholic School wasn’t anything like that. The nuns were wonderful, and the experience was a delight. They may be right. Perhaps not every Catholic School was run like Joliet Prison.
I’m sure you could find prisoners of war who would say that their incarceration was like a holiday in the Bavarian Forest. Or the Hanoi Hilton was really a Southeast Asian-style Club Med. I suggest that you think of these people as extraordinary, and their view of Catholic School as slightly out of focus.
“I DON’T BRAKE FOR NUNS!” is a look at Catholic School in the 1960s through the eyes of a kid stuck right smack in the middle of a nun- run educational system. If you’ve never experienced an encounter with a nun, you have no idea what six hours a day with one can be like. This book will help shine a light on what that experience might be like.
