Do that and you go to jail.
Mr Razzman, Cayuga Heights Elementary, 4th Grade, 1960. One bad word and POW!! Piece of chalk smack on the side of your head thrown as hard as a fastball from the front of the room. You didn’t act up much in Mr. Razzman’s room.
Times have changed.
I nearly got my ear twisted off by a 2nd grade teacher on my first day in her class in the early 60s. I didn’t act up again even once in her class and I still remember her name to this day.
Mrs Vince got my attention from that point forward.
