Hi Jackie,
I think the smarter students were the worst behaved because they got
bored. LOL..I say that because I was probably the worst of the lot. <G>
In 5th grade I had worked out a neat system of bouncing hunks of pencil
erasers (I chewed them off) off the blackboard (it was green, whey did
they call it a blackboard?) and into the vicinity of the nun sitting at
her desk. Of course she'd always look in the direction the eraser bit
came from and jump on some poor kid sitting over there. The kid kept
protesting and even told her I was doing it. Finally I got caught.
Frankly, I think she saw me throw it out of the corner of her eye. But
to make a point, and to look clever, she took out a protractor and acted
as if she was measuring the angle from the blackboard. Of course, she
turned and the protractor pointed directly at me. The jig was up.
