I used to get in trouble in junior high Science class because my seat was right next to the ground floor window and for some reason I used to stare out and daydream there, and only there.
We used to have a really wonderful teacher who didn't believe in homework. He always said we needed to learn about life by going out and living it, and we wouldn't learn it if we were stuck doing homework every night. He even used to help us study in class the day before a test.
Most of our teachers were pretty....how do you put it...unfazeable. And by and large most students didn't mess with them because of that. But the substitutes had a very difficult time, as I recall. I still remember one screaming "You people are animals!!!" at the top of her lungs.
I don't know whatever happened to her because I never saw her again, but I hope she ended up retiring on the Riviera or something.

Back when I was in Elementary School having online classes was still like something you'd see on The Jetsons. I also think back then if someone had suggested to parents that they home school their kids they'd probably have said "Nooooo thank you! I can barely handle summer vacation as it is." and sent them packing off to school.
We could hardly wait for school to be out but we had no idea how boring summer could be either.
Was glad when I became old enough to go to summer camp.
Let me tell you about summer camp
No fun, absolutely no fun when you step into or onto a Bee's nest.
My group of girls did, we were screaming, running, crying and I saw one girl that even had them in her socks.
