Today, at Starbucks I ran into my Junior High math teacher. She was there having coffee with a friend and I sat down and told her my two favorite stories from her class. Here they are:
(1) If you didn't hang your backpack or book bag on the back of the chair you ran the risk of it falling into the aisle. If she happened to walk down the aisle and your book bag was in it she would pick it up, walk outside and then throw it off the balcony. It was the best.
(2) Remember when you had your own personal chalkboard and chalk? The teacher would write the problem on the board and then you would have to work the problem out on your own chalkboard. In the event you were caught doing anything inappropriate with your chalkboard (like, displaying notes for others or drawing pictures etc.) she would come over to your desk, ask you to put your chalk down, take your chalkboard and then smash your chalk with it. LOL, How great is that?
The best part, her friend commented that these were the things I remembered from class and my response, "yes, I am not very good at math." LOL

LMAO! That would have left a much bigger impression on me than any math problems!
Mrs Fithian, right????
RO at the experiences and at the friend's comment!
Could you imagine a teacher getting away with this now? Especially in sue happy CA? Those were the days...
Hilarious!!
Funny! Kim has other funny math stories. She will have to share at another time.
