For years, I had nightmares about elementary school. I went to Catholic school and you just did not talk, or stand out of line, or make a move without being punished. I was scared to death most of the time. The nuns were so mean. Can't say too much about 'em...they still have eyes in the backs of the heads, ya know! biggrin.gif

I am sure things have changed over the years. But, I still shake when I see someone dressed in black and white! tongue.gif

Once, in first grade, the teacher was new and could not keep our attention so she went and brought Sister so and so, the Principal back to yell at us. This principal made us clean out our desks while she was there. I was unfortunate enough to be sitting at the desk right where she was standing. She saw a workbook that I had where I have penciled in the big white letters on the front page. She saw it, grabbed it from me, and asked me "WHO did this??" (remember I am five or six years old). But, I was quick on my feet. Told her my sister did it! biggrin.gif But, darn, she knew my family and knew my sister was just an infant! Can't remember a thing after she called me on my lie. Musta blacked out. biggrin.gif Been in therapy for years now....... wink.gif
Needless to say, I'm not Catholic anymore. No offense to any Catholics......just my experience.

middle school--- in school suspension, it was a game to see who could get sent there first

High school--- sleeping, just couldn't resist a nap after lunch

My kindergarten teacher noted on my report card that I may be hard of hearing, but my mom knew that it was just "selective hearing!"

Elementary school I was the day dreamer, always gazing out the window. I was also the kid with the messiest desk in school. It was so bad in 3rd grade, I had to start putting my books on the floor until I got in trouble for it and had to stay after school cleaning it out!

High school I was known for skipping school and hanging out with the wrong crowd. But it was fun!
peacefrog
elem: talking, cussing out the gym teacher

middle: talking, cussing out the gym teacher

high: talking, smoking, tardiness, running an "underground" newspaper, always being out of uniform (private school kid), cussing out the gym teacher... I spent a lot of time in detention. I was not the model student. I was, however, always honor roll. Oh... the humanity...

Maybe they CLONED those nuns because they were in Southeast DC, too!

It wasn't the priests I was afraid of being abused by, it was the NUNS!

Talking, spitballs, causing a ruckus. Class clown. Running a non-school-sanctioned club of fun-loving drunks in high school. But always got good grades -- except in "social behavior". ohmy.gif

I did alot of things, but did not get 'caught'. That is what I excelled at. Oh and being in the wasteo club...
(it was really informal, you had to be and in the honors program and party your brains out on the weekend).
Were we nuts? yes...most of us ended up fine..

Back in the day I had to walk 12 miles to school 1 way........backwards and barefooted (well ok maybe not 12 miles and not backwards).

I miss those days . sigh

Everytime I was late the teacher would smack me in the palm of my hands with a belt.

If I spoke out of turn in class I had to stand on a desk with my right hand holding up my left leg and my left hand holding my right ear.

That's the trouble with these young whipper snappers nowadays no discipline. Talking back to teachers and parents coming to school to beat up the teachers IN FRONT OF their child no less.

I hardly ever got into trouble in school. I knew better. Plus I sure didn't want a smacking when I got home either.



^^in need of a good "smacking" due to repressed anxiety.

Nice avatar.

Unbelieveable
Elementary: I was very well behaved.

Middle School : Very well behaved until the eighth grade.

High School : Bad to the bone ! My Friends and I hooked all the time spent our day's up the Fall's, smoked in the bathrooms. In the winter we would hook at home when our parents was working.

I only wish i could take it all back now, i do regret it !

My fondest memories are of sports and girls. I was a state champion swimmer a few years up through middle school. I also played football and lacrosse.. and played lacrosse for TSU until I transferred. I dated girls from different schools at the same time in high school and one would somehow always find out about the other! Note: that was just a phase.

In middle school I was an honor roll student, had a few girlfriends... had my first real kiss during a couples skate at Starland (I Won't Forget You by Poison) and then I fell down and tried to grab on to her to hold myself up and pulled her down too. True romance.

In high school I was a clown but the teachers loved me. Got good grades except for my freshman year. Got suspended twice for 3 days. Once was when I was provoked to fight.. I rocked him and went to the office to turn myself in. The other time was when I was holding up buses to let friends out of the exit in front of me. Yeah, I got suspended for that!

Expelled after 3rd grade, I spent a year in one private school and a half a year in another before getting kicked out. After a half year of home schooling (sort of) I gave my life to the Lord and everything started turning around. I wound up in a magnet school for High School that you had to test above the 85th percentile to get into, and graduated from College at the top of my class of Chemistry majors.

In H.S. I was in the weightlifting club and German club and on the Wrestling team. Didn't just hang out with jocks though. Had a small group of close friends who weren't really part of any of the stereotypical groups. Sure we drank some and partied some and skipped some school sometimes, but none of it to excess. Also had a lot of friends in the very active youth group at church who kept me out of trouble most of the time, though I was not one of the goody-goodys.

In college I partied a lot and had a new crop of friends each year because half of the old ones would flunk out from partying too much. But mine was the only "A" in my major courses though I didn't study very much. Naturally gifted, I got all As and Bs in college, but I didn't really apply myself except when sufficiently challenged. So I tended to get "B"s in the easiest of my non-major courses. Worked for the Chemistry Department the last 2 summers of college and tutored some in between partying and working out at a local gym.

So the Elementary school years were a living hell, I became a Christian, and then Middle School was neutral and H.S. and College were truly great times - lots of fond memories...

I've thought about it. Well ... writing a book, that is. Considering that's just the academic-related version of my story and there's a lot more drama to it. But with my luck it would end up on something like the Lifetime channel, so I don't think so.

All through school my nickname was "Silly". Not because of what you think. Although it may have had something to do with how I am now. rolleyes.gif

It started in 2nd grade. Sister Mary Grace, in front of the whole class, said that I ask so many questions that if I was a cat I would've been dead by then. Well the other kids thought it was really funny and so they started calling me Sylvester after the cartoon. At some point, I don't remember when, it became Silly.

To make it even funnier, my oldest and dearest friend, who I always blamed for keeping it going, is named Willie Hall. We were pretty inseparable and so until we graduated from HS everyone referred to us as Silly and Willie.

Sister Mary Grace felt so bad about it that she kind of took me under her wing and looked out for me. She got me out of trouble with the other nuns more than once. I didn't tell her until 8th grade that it never bothered me.

When i went to school i was doing ok until i hit the 9th grade.
It all went down hill from there. I had a brother a couple years ahead of me.
So when i arrived all the teachers asked the same question,
Did you have a brother who went here? I said yes. that did it.
I was a marked card. He did alot of things i wouldn`t do in school.

Well that all change when my first calss was English.
The teacher said my name and then said you`ll flunk this class.
I ask why, She said your probly just like your brother.
Man that did it. I said OK go for it. To the office i was sent heeheehee.

As the years went by it got worse. Then the ole English from 9th grade accused me of running her off the road on my way to school one morning. I said you are a lier. She grab me by the neck and next thing i know she was on the floor. Two weeks late i had my G E D. and said good by to school.

No I`m not sorry for bumping her to the floor.

I'm getting ready to have the roof ripped off to add a second level. While they're doing that and probably during the first phase of construction I'll be living in a travel trailer while I'm there.

It would be close quarters so I would have to invite everyone down one at a time.

Would you like to be my first guest?
