How many lines did you have to write as a punishment (linewriting)?

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

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

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…

I remember 800 lines once

Actual writing of lines, the worst was 500, given to me by my history teacher because I was late with an assignment. What made it worse still was I miscounted and only did 498 lines, plus I made mistakes (doubled-up words or missed words). The guy actually counted the lines and read every one of them to pick out the mistakes. He then accused me of being slovenly and disrespectful and caned me!

Other written punishments were copying out 2 or 3 pages from the Bible. I've no idea how many 'lines' that would have amounted too, but it was tedious!

I don't remember doing more than 100 at a time - but we're talking about nearly 60 years ago... 😁

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 don’t remember getting more than 50. I set them as a prefect too, I think only 25.

I remember writing 100 lines many times with “I will not…. Etc”

Hated doing them

Can I PM you?

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
