l, taught by nuns with a ruler in one hand and a red crayon in the other. I preferred the smack with the rules
That sounds like a ball of fun!
Thankfully, today we have grammar and orthograph correctors, that will tell you when to add punctuation. No need to take the ruler out @farm-mom hahaha.
We had a teacher who was similar in grade 3 or 4.
I remember once he was pulling the ear lob of a kid so hard I thought the ear would detach (it didn't), because of a spelling mistake, he was taking his job very seriously.
I wonder where this old tyrant is now haha. I have an idea though...
Thanks for the chat dear!
Haha yep, we all have our stories. My kids went to public schools, no ruler smacking there, I wanted to do the smacking myself 😆
Kidding, of course, I didn’t need to hit my kids, my facial expressions could stop ‘‘em cold.
Hey friend, hope all is well , hugs to all.
