I had to write multiplication tables into the hundreds. I don’t recall the exact number of lines.

@MissMeghan The teacher checked the sums. The punishments I received were for talking with classmates during lessons.
MissMeghan · 46-50, F
@Bowenw well, I presume it was an effective punishment 😉
Bowenw · 61-69, M
@MissMeghan It was effective and I did learn multiplication tables very well.

Writing out in chalk on the blackboard 4 pages of the Hobbit.

The black board would hold about a page

You then had it checked by teacher and then had to wipe it out.

Then next page…

None. I.dod at the beginning, but he realized it didn't work.

@MrsRachelEvans i.didmt do anything to change his mind. He felt like it was a waste of time mine and his.
MrsRachelEvans · 26-30, F
@Klt3sHottie my father always said I was wasting my own time doing lines. He would leave me do them in a set time
MissMeghan · 46-50, F
@MrsRachelEvans Time you spend learning to become a better person is _never_ wasted. What was the maximum amount of time you spend on writing lines during a single punishment?
MrsRachelEvans · 26-30, F
I remember 800 lines once
MissMeghan · 46-50, F
@MrsRachelEvans Do you remember the line written? 🖊️

I don't remember doing more than 100 at a time - but we're talking about nearly 60 years ago... 😁
ArtieKat · M
@MissMeghan No, I don't. Probably stuff like "I must not.... &c. &c."
MissMeghan · 46-50, F
@ArtieKat clearly they did not assign enough lines or you WOULD remember them! 😆
ArtieKat · M
The second word is .".. off!", @MissMeghan 🤣😂🤪

MissMeghan · 46-50, F
@allygator18 and do you remember them fondly? 😁
allygator18 · 22-25, F
@MissMeghan yes...mostly just experiences fromm life that mad eit easy to tell the story

I can only recall one instance of this happening, and it was just my biological father being unreasonable over a misunderstanding.
He was great at that.

I had to write 300 once
“I will not chew gum and talk back to the teacher”

That didn’t teach me a damn thing
MissMeghan · 46-50, F
@Jeephikelove Either the chew gum was too good or not enough lines ... 😆
MartinII · 70-79, M
I don’t remember getting more than 50. I set them as a prefect too, I think only 25.
Billyt · 61-69, M
I remember writing 100 lines many times with “I will not…. Etc”

Hated doing them

MissMeghan · 46-50, F
