I'm thinking you don't get away with that so easy these days. But back when I was in grade school, it had no repercussions whatsoever, LOL!
People lived in fear of Sister Laurentia's math classes and reciting the times tables. Because if you couldn't rattle 'em off fast enough ... WHACK! 
Admittedly, you only got the head shot if you were especially dumb. She mostly only used that on the guys. Otherwise it was the hand. |
Nuns on the run, man. You can still see some cuts and the like in my hands, but bygod, I learnt. (You probably remember this--did you have to learn two tables/night? Up to what, 15-16x? That's what we did.)
Ah, the good old days.
