Moda's ABC123 by American Jane. Your chance to win will be as easy as Abc123 too. No tough final exams....I'm sure we were all perfects students, maybe even teacher's pets....but did you ever have to pay the consequences for misbehaving???? Leave a comment telling how you (or classmates) were disciplined. I'll never forget my 4th grade teacher, Mr. Tolliver. He was the first male teacher I ever had....one of the few at our elementary school. He introduced me to this poem....written over and over and over......
The wise old owl
Set in an oak.
The more he saw
The less he spoke
The more he listened
The more he learned.
Now why can't I
Be like that wise old bird!
I guess that is why I still today am not a fan of owls. Where was the copy and paste key in those days!!!!

I was a pretty quiet kid in school, so getting in trouble was rare. But 2 times I did have to go to the principal's office and my parents were called.
ReplyDeleteI went to school during the days of the "paddle".......ouch!
ReplyDeletethanks for the fabulous giveaway.......I love American Jane and that layer cake is definitely scrumptious!
I forgot to do my homework oneday and was given 100 lines to write " I must not forget to do my homework ". I taped 2 pencils together so I could write 2 lines at once.. lol,eh those were the days. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI did not ever get disciplined in school but in grammar school the principal did use the paddle on students for misbehaving.
ReplyDeletethanks for the giveaway.
I didn't get in much trouble in school but the punishment was either detention or ISS! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think I sood in the corner once when I was in elementary school but I was a sickening good student.
ReplyDeleteAt our school, punishment was 'litter duty' which meant you were given a black bin bag and had to go and fill it with all the rubbish on the school field and surrounding roads to the school. Humiliating for those involved, but kept the school clean! x
ReplyDeleteI never got in trouble at school either but I know one teacher there who broke so many rulers over students hands and heads
ReplyDeleteIt was rare that I got in trouble but when you did you were sent to the principals office and sometimes even got the paddle.
ReplyDeleteI would have keeled over dead on the spot from embarrassment if I had gotten in trouble as a student... I was the shy, quiet type! (I was a teacher for over 9 years, though, so I've had to be the one doing the disciplining more often than I would have preferred!)
ReplyDeleteI had a charm pack of this and loved it - a layer cake would be wonderful to play with. I was only disciplined in school once - 4th grade - teacher hit me across the hand with a ruler. Problem was, it was when the first rulers with metal strip came out and it cut my hand badly - needless to say, the teacher was asked to retire and I still have the scars.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in second grade my teacher had told all of us to be quiet. I was excited about showing something to my parents when I got home and turned around to tell my friend. The teacher heard me, of course, and made me sit in the chair next to her the rest of the day.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Peggy

I didn't realyy get into much trouble at school but the couple of times I did it was off to the headmaster and he was scary
ReplyDeleteHa! Your teacher reminds me of my 6th grade teacher Mr. Smith. I remember that he always sent the noisy kids into the brook closet. And Richard Gavin would eat other kid's lunches while he was in "time out".
ReplyDeleteThe blog hop has been fun! thank you for the giveaway! I remember having to write sentences and clean chalkboards! thank you!
ReplyDeleteI spent one weekend writing "I will not talk in class" 500 times.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
Eu???Eu adorava a diretora Léa e sua sala sombria...Preciso contar bagunças?Obrigada.tiacarminhapezzuto@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a darling line and my head is filling up with possibilities! Thank you for the opportunity to put my name in the hat! I was kind of a teacher's pet in school so I don't remember ever being in trouble. Of course it's entirely possible that I have forgotten. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't recall ever really misbehaving in school. If I did mom and dad would have been worse on me. Id love to win this. I've got a new DIL teaching her first year of third graders.
ReplyDeleteWe were sent to the Principals office for a paddling! That wouldn't go in today's world!
ReplyDeleteI guess I was a goodie-two-shoes, I can't ever remember being disciplined. Although I do remember that if you misbehaved you had to stay after school and clap the chalkboard erasers outside to clean them!
ReplyDeleteI was a teachers pet, never got in trouble. Kids that got in trouble had to write sentences 20 times on chalkboard.
ReplyDeleteThanks for chance to win.
I was really a good student but I got a paddling in 2nd grade from the principal. You see, Mom stopped by the school to bring something to me and I found out she was going on a shopping trip with her best friend. I wanted to go to - it sounded a lot more fun than school. I guess I pitched a bit of a fit. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI was always afraid to do anything wrong at school, my mom taught at the elementary school I went to...so if I had done something bad, she would have been the one to paddle me.
ReplyDeletesowingstitches [at] yahoo [dot] com
I didn't get in trouble much, but those who did had to stay after school for detention and help clean the school
ReplyDeleteIf you couldn't behave you had to move your desk in the hall and sit there. If you were bad over & over the paddle. Fights & such expelled.
ReplyDeleteI never got in trouble in school but once in grade school had a teacher who said he used his ruler to smack kids on the hand with it if they misbehaved. Never seen him do it but believed him when he said he had!
ReplyDeleteI was very shy in school and don't remember being punished. I do remember some less shy students getting paddled in high school That was very disturbing to me.
ReplyDeleteWriting sentences over and over and over... "I will not talk in class!" lol
ReplyDeleteI was never disciplined. I was a good . I fulfilled my love for school by becoming a teacher.
ReplyDeleteMy whole Freshman history class had to write "Silence is Golden' 500 times because everyone was talking while the teacher had stepped out. I will never forget that sentence. LOL I am a follower.
ReplyDeleteFrequently got in trouble for talking! In 4th grade, I opted for a paddling (or a "whooping" around here), instead of writing "I will not talk in class" 300 times, because I figured out the paddling would be over in less than a minute, and the write-ups would ruin another weekend. The teacher was upset (she didn't want to paddle a girl), but I INSISTED. She barely touched me with the paddle, and the weekend was free and clear! I learned it's best to hit things head-on, and get it over with.
ReplyDeleteWell, my parents were both teachers, so I certainly knew better than to misbehave at school! I remember one teacher who made the kids right essays, when they caused trouble. That's the perfect giveaway prize. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI was a pretty good kid in school, but as I recall, punishment meant writing sentences or staying in from recess. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI rarely got into trouble but 7th grade I got caught in Science class passing a note with a not so nice description of our gym teacher! The Science teacher read it and called me out on the descriptive word I used--as he said he did not know she was a dog--so embarrassing, even to this day!
ReplyDeleteI went to Catholic school. You either got detention or sent to the principal. I once got a detention for not having my socks pulled up.
ReplyDeleteBack in the 70's they still paddled bad kids at school. I can remember that happening to a boy once. It was enough to keep me out of trouble at school. At home...it was a different story.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember the ways we were reprimanded besides vocally by the teacher. My first male teacher was in 3rd grade!
ReplyDeleteThe worst I ever got was detention.
ReplyDeleteThey'd make use re-write sentences over and over. I never got in trouble though.
ReplyDeleteIf we were naughty in primary school, we usually had our play times cut down by 5 or 10 minutes!
ReplyDeleteDetention is what we got. Wonderful giveaway! Thanks for the chance! Have a Nice Day! :)
ReplyDeleteI got a weeks-worth of lunchtime detentions with my RE teacher for calling her a silly name! I missed the auditions for Oliver Twist and I was gutted! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteWe had to stand in a corner if we were not listening to the teacher.
ReplyDeleteI was really an angel in school! I do remember having to stay in from recess to finish some work one time and I was devastated because it felt like a punishment!
ReplyDeleteI got a Saturday detention in which I had to write lines... it was not fun at all :( LOL
ReplyDeleteI remember to cases on was jsut me - I think it was 10th grade, I had to stand outside of the classroom and press down the door handle so the teacher could make sure I was still there (she's bound by law to supervise each student present during class) ... that were 30 awfully long minutes .. I think I wouldn't have minded comign in in the afternoon for an hour instead. The other one was the whole class - we all had to come in Friday afternoon and copy page after page from our physiscs book from 2 till 5 - supervised by our dear headmaster who really felt sorry for us, but that was what our dear teacher had set as group punishment, beore miraculously getting ill that Friday. I did drop physics as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteElse the usual writing down lines, or sittign on the special table - the one just on front of the teachers table.
We didn't have detention as in stay at school - we had to do all the line writing at home, else they woudl have needed someon supervising detention...
I was a pretty good child in school, so I don't remember getting into trouble. I know lines, detentions and being sent to the head's office were standard punishments, though! Thank you for the lovely giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteI was sent to the Vice Principal's office once.. nothing more than a talking to, but boy did she have me in tears!
ReplyDeleteI think the only real discipline I ever got in school was after a fight I got into on the bus ride home - I got kicked off the bus for two days. OH DARN! lol! :) Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI've heard that poem before--a favorite of teachers, I think. If we misbehaved during school, we had to sit on the wall during recess. Our school was built on a hill and the playground was at a lower level. We had to walk down to it from the elementary school by following a sidewalk that went along one side of the building and then down to the playground. If we were in trouble we had to sit against the building rather than playing. I sat there a surprising number of times considering I was a "good" kid. :)
ReplyDeleteIn second grade, I was paddled for talking in the lunchroom. In sixth grade, I was paddled because I was out of my seat. But, I had permission. The whole class was being punished during recess for misbehaving. Guess who our teacher was? You are right if you guessed the principal. I had permission to dust the erasers, but when I came in, he was paddling anyone who got out of their seat without permission. He did not give me a chance to explain that I had permission. :(
ReplyDeleteIn grade school, the most common 'punishment' was having to sit in our seats with our heads down, even during recess... bummer!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Layer cake and thanks for offering it!!
When I was in second grade, I had a teacher who had a giant laminated sun posted to the wall. It had detachable rays, and when we were in trouble, she would detach a ray and stick it to our desk and let us know that both she and the sun were disappointed in us. Even at the time, it struck me as an odd practice.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember being disciplined or that being needed. Maybe I was a perfect kid. My kids though they pull pins and put you on red when bad which makes my 3rd grader cry so no red for him.
ReplyDeletei was very shy in those days i am a new follower thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteMy friend & I got called back in from recess by my 6th grade teacher. She had a serious discussion with us. After tears & apologies we were good to go. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI admit to being a teachers pet for the most part. Our 6th grade teacher did make students caught chewing gum stand on the toes at the chalkboard with their nose pressed into the wad of gum from their mouth! Glad I had braces so couldn't chew gum. I am a new follower, thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy first grade teacher had a long stick with thorns on it that she called her "witch's stick" and she would threaten to hit us with it if we misbehaved. I don't know that she ever really used it, but thinking of it now just befuddles me -- nowadays she'd undoubtedly be turned in for child abuse!
ReplyDeleteNope, never sent to the principal's office for anything bad. I was too scared and quiet to get in trouble! :) Did have to go one time because I forgot my permission slip for a field trip. Was going to have to spend the day there, but they called my mom at work and got verbal permission for me to go. (This was WAY before cell phones! :))
ReplyDeleteGreat give away! Thanks!

I was such a goody-two-shoes in school that I can't even answer this question! My daughter's school uses the green-yellow-red system, which seems to work wonders there... too bad I haven't found anything that works so well at home! Thanks for the chance - adorable layer cake and beautiful blog.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your story! My 4th grade teacher (also male) used to make the whole class write the 'times table' over and over as punishment no matter who caused trouble. Bet every one of his students can multiply without a calculator LOL!!! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThey would call the parents if you were bad. Not a good thing!
ReplyDeleteI can't recall ever being "caught" at something in school but I do remember our family moving to Edmonton for a few months, I hated the school and proceeded to skip alot. My Mom figured it out when the house was always clean and supper always made when she got home from work. Mom knew I was extremely unhappy so we would head off shopping on her day off. Well one morning before we ventured out the principal called the house and I answered, needless to say he was stunned, when he asked if Mom was home and she got on the phone I think he was speechless.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I was of the generation of children who were disciplined with a cane! I was only caned once but I'll never forget it - I can't remember what I did to justify it though!!
ReplyDeleteLOL...who me?!?!? I was not very nice to my 5th grade teacher. She was grumpy and I talked too much, I guess. I spent many days in the VP's office perfecting my penmanship skills. I think that is why I write fairly neat to this day. =) Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteIf you were bad or disruptive you were sent to sit in the hall outside the door. But this was ok because if the classroom across the way had sent a naughty student out too then you could both giggle and roll coins to each other across the hall... not that I ever did that, ahem.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win a layer cake, they are my favorite precuts. I remember I had to stay after school just one time, but I don't remember what was so awful that I did. Maybe chewing gum??? But the school was out in the country and I had to walk a mile to get home. You know the old saying, it was cold, snow, and up hill. LOL
ReplyDeleteI went to Catholic grade school & the nuns patroled the room with a wooden ruler to wrap on our knuckles if they didn't like what we were doing! Great giveaway - thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteIn kindergarten I had to lay on my mat and skip snack-time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win this cute fabric!
I remember in grade school being made to call my mother to tell her what I had done, I remember that was terrible but I can't even remember what I did.
ReplyDeleteMy mom was the secretary at my elementary school - so I did not get into trouble or there would be trouble at home too! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteFor throwing snowballs at a transit bus, our principal threatened us with the strap and we promised him we would keep out of trouble! awolk at rogers dot com
ReplyDeleteWe used to have to write "I will not talk in class" over and over and over. I was a good student, but just a little cheeky. I came prepared one day. At home, I had pre-written my punishment, so the next time the teacher told me to write it, I pulled my prepared sheets out and handed them over. :-)
ReplyDeleteThere was an empty table in out lunch room known at "the bad table" and of you were bad during lunch you had to sit there. The last 10 minutes of lunch was "silent time" - I suppose they were trying to calm us down - and I was caught talking and had to sit at the bad table! Traumatizing haha
ReplyDeleteI used to have write I will be on time - I was forever late it seemed.
ReplyDeleteWe were scolded and embarrassed in front of the rest of the class.
ReplyDeleteI had to wear gum on my nose when I was caught chewing it (5th grade).
ReplyDeleteI was one of the good, quiet students.
ReplyDeletequilting[dash]lady[at]comcast[dot]net
I never got in trouble in school, too much of a chicken!
ReplyDeleteThe worst discipline was that phone call or note to my parents. Sheesh!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe had to put our heads down on our desks and be quiet with the lights out.

I forgot my gym shoes and had to write a sentence about not forgetting my gym shoes over and over again all throughout gym class! I think that was about the most trouble I ever got in!
ReplyDeleteI remember I once forged my mum's signature as I'd forgotten to get her to sign my diary to say she'd seen it. I got in soooo much trouble from the teacher and my parents even made me write lines at home!!
ReplyDeleteThe really naught kids at school had to stand against the wall outside the Principal's office for everyone to see...
ReplyDeleteI only got in trouble once..lst grade..I learned really quickly to behave...we had to sit at a desk outside the room in the hallway for everyone to see you. Cured me from talking in class! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI ended up in the principles office once in Elementary school, I was in maybe 2nd or 3rd grade. A friend and I jumped over this tiny creek that was along side the playground and got in trouble. I was so scared to go to the office that I don't remember what happened. I'm not even sure if my parents were called, if they were they never spoke a work about it. I was 'little miss follow the rules' from that time forward.
ReplyDeleteDetention was the worst punishment I had in High school. But t wasn't really a punishment to me. It was morning detention which took place during first period. So I was was able to get out of my first class, which I hated and, and chat with my other friends in detention. It was held in the cafeteria and I don't even remember a teacher being in there to watch us so it was more of an incentive than a punishment. :)
ReplyDeleteOur one grade school teacher made you stand in the corner facing the corner in front of the class. Really embarrassing. Thanks for the giveaway! Love your blog pic at the top with the washer and quilt.
ReplyDeleteI had an art teacher in high school who kept a soup can covered with eyes cut out from magazines. Whenever you said "I can't", you ended up having to sit with the Eye/I can in front of you!
ReplyDeleteI honestly can't think of a time when I was punished for misbehavior. I must have a bad memory because I'm sure it happened. However, there was this one time in 4th grade when we were supposed to be doing a math page - it was one of those "color by number" pages and I was the only one in the whole class who actually did the math part before coloring (the picture was VERY obvious). So I got to go out to recess and the rest of the class had to stay in. It was actually a very boring recess because I had no one to play with!
ReplyDeleteOh the sentences I had to write and write and write! Ugh. Thanks for the giveaway. I found you through the hop and I'm as new follower.
ReplyDeleteI remembered iwe have detention and cleaning the sport room :)
ReplyDeleteI never got into trouble when I went to school, but sometimes the whole class was punished for something and we would have to lay our heads down on our desks. Rowdy kids had to stand in the corner with their backs to the class or they either got punished with a paddle that had holes in it.I am glad they don't do that anymore. Thanks for the giveaway.

I was a good kid for the most part, but I did get caught passing a note and had to read it in front of the class. I was very shy, so that was so embarrassing for me.
ReplyDeleteI had to stay after school with the whole class...but because of what someone else had done. I never liked being punished for someone else.
ReplyDeleteWe would have to stand in the corner if we misbehaved in school.
ReplyDeleteI remember one year, 5th grade I think. We had to put our gum on our nose if caught chewing it. Only happened to me once.
ReplyDeleteWe were sent out in the hall if we misbehaved.

I was very good at school, but the most common thing was to have chalk or the blackboard rubber thrown at you. Teachers were charming in those days. Thank you for the giveaway.

My grade six teacher made us write out times tables over and over - we soon learned to tape pencils together in lines of five to make the task go quicker. : )
ReplyDeletebandkgram at hotmail dot ca
The earliest punishment I remember was sitting in a desk set right outside the door of our classroom. We would get to hear what was going on but join in. What a great thing to offer for your give away!
ReplyDeleteSeventh grade, unintentionally being a smart alack, the teacher called me out of the room and threatened to send me to the principal's office and call my parents. It was all very embarrassing but I guess he believed me that it was unintentional because I was able to go back to class. Whew! It would have been double punishment when I got home if my parents had been called!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric you're offering. I have a new grandson and I think it could become a beautiful little quilt for him. Thanks for offering the fabric and participating in the blog hop.
Luckily I didn't get in trouble too much at trouble, except for excessive talking in elementary school :) we had to stand in the corner or write sentences too!
ReplyDeleteI've written my share of "I will not talk in class". LOL And, there were quite a few times that I was sent to the cloak room for talking in class. In first grade, my best friend and I were sent to sit in the hallway --*together* for talking to each other! LOL We just carried our conversation with us! ;-) (until the principal walked by and asked us what we had been sent to the hall for! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win! I LOVE American Jane!!
I can't really remember a specific time. But I think the students were sent to the Principals office. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI think we just got sent out to the hall. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletethe worst that happened to me was getting a "talking to"
ReplyDeleteI got sent to the principals office (for talking!) and had to set on a bench outside his office and count the bricks in the wall. I was in the second grade and had been in an accelerated program in another state the year before. I could multiply. I just counted the number in one row and counted the rows. I remember he turned VERY red when I gave him the answer fairly quickly. My mother had to come get me from school. After that I lost library privileges for talking so I stopped talking!
ReplyDeleteMy not so nice kindergarten teacher made me sit with a yardstick woven in front of my arms and behind my back because she said I didn't have proper posture.
ReplyDeleteWe were made to tell the whole class what we had done, ouch!
ReplyDeleteLove the giveaway, thanks
My fourth grade teacher was mean Mrs. Kibler. Okay maybe she wasn't mean but you sure knew that you would behave in her class or else. We were lined up by IQ I think and the bottom third of the class flunked automatically! At least I was at the top. Good old Mrs. Kibler. One day I forgot my lunch and was punshed by not having any. No way was she going to help me out but one of my friends shared her pimiento cheese sandwich which I wasn't that fond of. We had to eat everything on our lunch tray and had to show it to her before we could dump it. If there was something on the menu that I didn't like, like orange jello with shredded carrots and celery in it, I would bring my lunch that day. I remember stuffing that jello salad in my empty milk carton and hoping I wouldn't get caught. Mrs. Kibler also exposed us to interracial marriages and not to do it. In the 50's, that was a scary thing. So, in Mrs. Kibler's class, you just learned to be good. Thanks for the giveaway! I would love to win! Carol
ReplyDeleteI don't remember too much discipline in school but some where along the line my mother thought that writing sentences would be a good thing. Like a couple of hundred of them. They usually went along the lines of "I will not tease my sister.". Such memories. Thanks for participating in the hop.
ReplyDeleteI was homeschooled, but my dad would paddle you if you got out of line..
ReplyDeleteI remember having to stand in the corner in first grade...my daughter tells me this punishment is now called Recovery Time...
ReplyDeleteI remember having to write sentences for my 5th grade teacher because I was a little too sassy sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI was homeschooled, my mother used to threaten us with "telling our father" which was weird, because he's a really calm guy, but that was usually enough to get us to straighten up. We used to get spankings only once in a rare while!
ReplyDeleteAwesome give away. I was a quied child at primary school, but at highschool, in puberty, I could giggle so much with my friends that we had to leave the classroom and write over many chapters from our book (geografie)...sore hands and arms we had from that!!!
ReplyDeletewe were quiet and nice with our teachers. hugs
ReplyDeleteWe had to write lines- hundreds of lines. Learned to use two pencils at a time. Thank you for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe one thing that sticks in my mind about discipline in school was during the 3rd grade, the teacher took a wooden yardstick and hit a boy on the back because he talked back to her. I think everyone in that class shut up and never said another thing unless called on by name.
ReplyDeleteI had a teacher in 5th grade that now I am amazed he was allowed to teach. He repeatedly broke pencils over Ricky's head. Course Ricky egged him on and wouldn't show it hurt but it was horrible to watch and still makes me cringe.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get into much mischief in my school days. I do remember feeling devastated when my teacher wrote my name on the blackboard during a standardized test in first grade. I swear, it wasn't my fault that the little girl in front of me asked me a question!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember getting into any trouble at school, because I knew I would be in deep trouble at home if I did.
ReplyDeleteI never got in trouble but when I was in first grade someone in the class had done something but no one fessed up to doing it, so ALL of us had to line up and go into the cloak room one at a time to get paddled. I was very scared but as it turned out, they only pretended to paddle me..didn't hurt at all!
ReplyDeleteDianne
I didn't get into trouble at school....but I am from the era when kids were paddled....or set in the hall by their classroom door.
ReplyDeleteThanks for chance to win! :)
I would love this prize, need fabric for a baby quilt, I just used to get sent out of the class for talking too much
ReplyDeleteMy Geography is pretty good, because I had a teacher who would make you write out say all the countries on African continent, or Europe, or list countries and their capital cities. I wasn't a naughty child really, just a real chatterbox that talked far too much lol!
ReplyDeleteI was sent to sit in my locker (a cubbyhole in the classroom) in kindergarten... still stings BECAUSE I DIDN'T DO IT>>> THE KIDS SITTING NEXT TO ME WAS THE ONE MAKING NOISE. There... I feel a little better... it's only been 35 years...

Debbie, I love American Jane--her nostalgic use of color reminds me of the Scott Foresman Dick, Jane, and Sally pre-primers and primers used for early reading back in the 50's.
ReplyDeleteMy first memory of being disciplined at school came in second grade after Sharon Reeves bullied me into smoothing her long banana curls in class--we sat in those desks with inkwells that were bolted to long strips of 1 X 4's. Miss Huffington told me to stop it, that I knew better, and I went home in tears! (When the district built a new elementary in the late 50's, they bought new desks, minus the inkwells, but still on wooden runners!)
Yay! you have a new follower! We were made to sit in the corner! Ick! Hated it!
ReplyDeleteI hate to say how long ago I went to school. I don't remember ever getting in trouble. Thanks for the giveaway. very nice!
ReplyDeleteI went to school when you were threatened with being sent to the principals office for "the strap" if you misbehaved. For the most part all that was necessary was the threat...count me in on the give away please. Love that collection.
ReplyDeleteI was sent to the principal's office once, when I reported that the girl behind me bit me. We were both sent and I was scared to death! I don't remember what he said but the gist was we better not get in trouble again!
ReplyDeleteI remember not being aloud to go out to play during our break if we misbehaved...

ReplyDeleteHuuummmm let's see I tryed to avoid getting into trouble in school but when I did - it was royally huge way!!!
ReplyDeleteThe most remembered memory of school trouble was when I broke a boy's nose in one Tenn. school when I was about 12 (we moved alot!) when he kept on picking on my younger sister, I did the right thing & repeatedly told a # of adults-nothing happened to the bully 6'+ all-sport jock. He pushed my sister down the bus stairs and caused her to put 4 teeth thru both lips, road rash across nose & face from hitting the curb. I got so mad that I started to yell at him, he made a snide remark about being a GIRL and being TOO short to do anything about it. Big mistake!!!! Don't say things like that to a bright red-haired Irish/German girl who is fighting mad!!! He went and stood near a tree stump laughing with his jock friends, yelling insults at me & sister in front of 2 schools worth of kids. I CALMLY walked to the stump, got up on it and swung with ALL the might I had. Broke his nose ... as he grabbed his nose I "happen" to also be the right height to kick him in his "testotrone". At the sight of HIS blood every adault came running.... I got hauled off to the office, parents called (father was ARMY btw-but it was my mother you had to worry about). When they finally pile my file of LOTS of complaints... my folks looked @ the Super & said "well since you can't handle the problem -- guess she did. This is what you desereved for not doing your D@$# job". The kicker was this boy living with his Southern GRANDMOTHER....she was 5' at best, had him bent in two by his ear, made him apologize to sister, folks, & me. I don't think that boy sat right for a couple of weeks @ the min.. But be sure he, his friends or other school memebers NO longer tortured us girls ... and made sure to warn others.
It takes alot to get "my Red up" but look out when it does. LOL. if I rant & rave... it's done. It's when I get all Nice & Calm that people tend to scatter.
Thank You for the chance to win the ABC 123 layer cake. I would use it to make a blanket for my new preemie granddaughter.
Sincerely,
Tricia
What a cool layer cake! I've never used one, only yardage. I don't remember ever being disciplined in school, though I know the common punishment was detention. I don't remember anyone ever being assigned copywork. Cute poem but I can see why you don't care for owls! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting!

When I was in grade 1, I saw some "older" kids sneaking a snack during classtime and thought "what a great idea". Needless to say, I got caught and had detention for a week. It definitely set me on the straight and narrow for years to come. Great giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity

That's funny! We had to write lines. Ugh! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy third grade teacher made a tattle tail and if you did it you got to wear the tail. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your give-away. From northern Iowa. . . .
ReplyDeleteI attended school during the time that teachers could spank kids and girls wore dresses. I never received a spanking at school. In first grade I did receive a "talking to" by the principal with my mother there. Essentially, I was the little 5 yo girl who was bullied and had shoes taken by the 8yo first grade boy --- and I went after him and got my shoes back. That's the only mischief I ever did. from Florida, USA
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the day when it was still ok for the teacher to hit you. One of our teachers would get out a paddle and actually hit kids!! He would be so gone into days world. In the class however kids
ReplyDeleteEarned not to misbehave.
OH gosh, do I REALLY have to admit I was a good girl in school and many times the teachers' pet? You see, I wasn't afraid of my teachers as much as I was afraid of my Dad and possibly embarrassing him since he was the city attorney as well as on the school board and a number of years he was the President of the school board. So yea, I was a good girl, although there was this one time, my Senior year of high school that a group of us girls during Homecoming went out before school to have 'breakfast' yet what we were really doing was driving all through the next town blasting our car horns, yelling out the windows and being totally obnoxious because that next town was our biggest rival in football and the team we always played against during homecoming. Then we grabbed donuts on the way back to school BUT, we got caught because we were late getting back to school. oops. Then when the phone calls started coming in to the school about the wild students we really got in trouble. (it wasn't hard for those in the other town to figure out where to call considering all our cars were decorated with our school colors and I had my Mom's HUGE GMC Suburban that was an ugly school bus yellow/gold with LOTS of purple everywhere because those were our school colors). That was the first time in my entire school life I ever got sent to the principals office. Well, really we didn't get 'sent' necessarily because we were still partying as we got back to school blasting all our car horns and screaming out our windows. Hey, we were having a fun day but, that ended quickly since the Principals office was right next to the drive leading to the parking lot so he was standing there as we walked toward school, arms folded, tapping his feet and telliing us to go to his office and wait. Of course, they really didn't do much since we were going to graduate very soon afterward. Sadly though, they COULD get even and did by calling all our parents so we all got our punishments at home. It was still fun but back then it was a different time. Doing the same thing today I'm sure would have ended up with our parents all having to come to the police station to bail our naughty butts out. LOL
ReplyDeleteEven though this will be a very long comment, I want to add how excited I was to see your giveaway prize. I have wanted to get some of that fabric since I first saw it. I LOVE that and think it would make such adorable things for my Granddaughter. Thank you.
Oh yes don't we all remember when the teacher was upset with us! It was enough to make me crumble because I knew I wasn't supposed to be goofing around in study hall. But we got over it and lived to goof around again another day! Thanks for the chance to win the layer cake!!!
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to admit this...but I was caught cheating on a biology test. The teacher grabbed my test paper and wrote a big red zero on it.
ReplyDeleteI tried to stay out of trouble at school, if i got a paddling in school, my dad would make me go to the woods and cut my own switch and use it on me until the switch would cut the blood out of me, then pour salt in the open wounds babscorbitt@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI never had "problems" at school, only once at high school I broke a window with my arm because of another student that shut that right in front of me (so I had to safe me with my arm) I didn't get hurt, but I had to pay for it's repair!
ReplyDeletethank you so much for this giveaway, this year my oldest kid is on his second kindergarten year, I hope he'll learn writing and reading, this fabric would be perfect for this!
Oh yes I remember having to write sentences over and over again. Nothing as meaningful as this one. Good choice on your teachers part. Too bad it turned you against owls... I LOVE them
ReplyDeleteIn 7th, I had a choice of getting swats or writing "I will not talk in class". I'm sure you can guess what I chose!
ReplyDeleteI was a very good kid in school and never wanted to do anything that someone would disapprove of. But I do remember my mean old Kindergarten teacher (even her name sounded mean - Miss Van Horn). Each day we would have a snack with little milk cartons. We were given straws to drink the milk with. While I was waiting for everyone to get their milk, I was blowing through my straw at Timmy Neumann, who was sitting across from me. We were having a great time until she came up behind me and without warning spanked me. I didn't even know I was doing anything wrong. It was a very traumatic experience!
ReplyDeleteI was pretty good in school, but boy those nuns were really strict. "I will not speak without being called upon" again and again and again. Boy, my hand got sore. I also got a few after school detentions in high school - which meant I had to scramble to find a ride home - 10 miles was a bit far to walk, lol.
ReplyDeleteMy mom taught at my elementary school, so I was good there. If I messed up in junior high or high school, she found out about it before I got home, so I never really did anything wrong. In elementary school the principal had a paddle hanging in his office and I know he used it on a few kids! As a teacher of a self-contained special ed class, my favorite way to punish my students was to sing Santa Baby to them...embarrassed them to death, so they behaved. Or I would make them walk with me, holding my hand - good thing I always had a teaching assistant with me so I never got in trouble for that!!
ReplyDeleteWe would have to do the classic "stand in a corner" routine when we were bad. Other than that a couple times, I was a pretty good kid. -grin- Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI always got in trouble for talking too much in class, lol, so my teacher would make me move my desk to the edge of the classroom all by myself. Man! I hated that!
ReplyDeleteMy parents were teachers, so they knew all of my school teachers. If I got up to anything at school, someone was bound to mention it to my dad...
ReplyDeleteWell I grew up in the time when teachers and parents were still allowed to use a paddle on children. I was a very rambunctious child so needless to say my hind end was introduced to a paddle quite a few times.
ReplyDeleteIf you got into trouble at school and the teacher gave you swats with the paddle, when we got home we received the same punishment.
Where I went to school they would sit you out in front od the main office so everyone could see you had been bad I really hated thAT SCHOOL! Love your prize though!
ReplyDeletethanks for the giveaway-- beautiful fabric-i love it- i was a good student but i do remember one time when i wore a skirt which was too short and i had to talk my way out of being sent home-- i never wore that skirt again!

I dont' ever remember getting in trouble in school, but I know some kids were given a round with a big wooden paddle. Thanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe boys at my school used to be smacked but the girls didn't.

Not much trouble for me "in" school...giggle. I was afraid of the ruler with the metal edge.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember being in trouble at school but then I can't remember any poems either so maybe he did you a favour ;)
ReplyDeleteI only remember getting disciplined once and that was when several of the students laughed at another student for the way she sang , fact of the matter is she had a lovely voice and I felt so bad for laughing . Thanks for the chance .
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteWho me I never got in trouble............much!!
my 3rd grade teacher used to hit our hands with a ruler...witch, lol
ReplyDeleteI don't remember getting into trouble other than having to write lines once but I'll never forget my first assembly at secondary school when the head master caned a boy in front of the whole school.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. I remember we had to write our names or the like on a sheet of paper 100 times. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI had a teacher that just like in the Simpsons- put the student infront of the board and made him write 100 times not to do what he did :)
ReplyDeletefunny how everyone says - I was pretty good in school... BUT... LOL
ReplyDeleteme too :-) BUT ... I grew up in Denmark and from 5th to 10th grade I went to a nice private school, schools in DK go to 9th OR 10th grade where 10th grade is optional for the students. anyways I took 10th grade because I wanted to go to college in FL and I had to be 18yrs old and I would be if I took the 10th grade, well the teachers called it the slacker year, so they didn't care about us, so soon I went home and told my parents not to waste anymore of their money on private school instead I'd go to the local public school for the rest of the year, so I did. I took an elective french class there but realized that it was a beginner's class ( it was my 3rd year of french) I knew more than the teacher! so I skipped the class with a friend and we got busted! sent to the principals office, where I told him the truth and said I wanted to drop the class, so I had my parents sign some paperwork for that, meanwhile the other girl's parents called my parents and said I was such a BAD girl and we weren't allowed to be friends anymore etc..... that hurt me more than anything
I don't remember getting punished at school but I do remember bits of chalk being thrown at someone to get their attention! I love your owl poem. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great question!! I bet you are having fun reading all of the answers!! On to mine....
ReplyDeleteI had a 6th Grade teacher, Mr. Joss who would throw eraser from the chalk board. If he thought someone wasn't paying attention that was his target!! Now, this scared the daylights out of me so I always tried to pay attention, but one day the kid in front of me wasn't paying attention and Mr. Joss pitched the eraser in his direction only he HIT ME!!! Mr. Joss thought it quite amusing, me - not so much!!
thanks for the fun and the chuckle this morning!!
I have been to ISS a couple times, but of course not enough to get expelled. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI remember having to do that also, filling page after page of "I will not...." fill in the blank with my current crime. Later it was detention. I'm so glad I'm not in school.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get in trouble, but knew I'd be in worse trouble at home with my dad! (light paddling )
ReplyDeletethanks for the giveaway chance!

I must have been a bit of a swot as I never once had detention!
ReplyDeleteI think the worst thing that was used at the grade school I went to was making someone stay in at recess. It never happened to me but once in awhile someone got punished that way. I really don't remember anyone being punished much when I was in school.
ReplyDeleteBack in the days ---- remember when the leather strop was hung prominently by the teacher's desk? Thankfully, I never experienced that but I certainly wasn't perfect, had more than a few detentions.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get into trouble much, but the worst was the "silent treatment" for not coming back to class after discovering the French tutor was absent- as if the teacher wouldn't find out! The suspense was far worse than any punishment.
ReplyDeleteWe had paddling and it didn't kill any of us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!

I was such a goody two shoes I never got in trouble. Boring! Thanks for this giveaway
ReplyDeletermk815@gmail.com
The teacher's called my parents when I was in trouble (I was a trouble maker) plus I got detention and had to hang out in the cafeteria or sent to the principal's office and sometimes for things that I didn't even do.
ReplyDeleteOnce and only once did I get a paddling at school and it was one lick for running in the hall.. Chasing a boy who stole my comb, you know it was in the days of always having a big toothed comb in your pocket...lol
ReplyDeleteGetting a note sent home to parents was probably the worst for me, great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHi I am Sandi and I am from Sonora, CA. Yes, I got into trouble in grammer school. I told my teacher I didn't like her and did not have to do what she told me to do. She called my mom to come pick me up. The teacher sent all the other kids out to play outside and kept me inside while waiting for my mom. Believe it or not, I did not get into trouble when I got home. Makes you wonder why. Thank you for joining in the Blog Hop and giving us all, your new friends and followers, a chance to win Moda's ABC123. I see myself making a wonderful quilt.

I'm afraid I never got in to trouble, I didn't dare...
ReplyDeleteI was only disciplined once in school - 5th grade - and it was a bunch of us for doing some prank that I can't even remember now. The only thing that happened was a stern lecture from the vice principal. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOur 6th grade teacher used to make us "take a page". In other words, write an entire page of "I will not ______" whatever the offending behavior was. Thanks for the chance to win such a great prize. xo
ReplyDeleteWriting sentences was the punishment of the day....a lot of days since I talked too much!(Still do I guess). Of course, we always tried to find ways to make it easier...and sometimes we even had the sentences written ahead of time..at least til the teachers figured that out and gave us strange sentences to write!
ReplyDeleteI love what you are giving away! Thanks for the chance to win :)
ReplyDeleteMisbehaving? Stay after school and write sentences over and over again..... Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMr. Hopkins used to call me and my friend birds because we chattered so much. Then he'd make us stand up against the blackboard and flap our arms for a looonnnnnggg time.
ReplyDeleteMy high school chemistry teacher used to rap the desk with a yardstick if a student wasn't paying attention. Boy, that noise would make us all jump out of our skin and sit up at attention.
ReplyDeleteI remember doing lines for Claire the Bear. "I will not talk in class", over, and over, and over again. The other guilty party & I started writing it one word at a time on each line (a full page of I, then the will,,and so on).Worked great till Claire the Bear caught us & phoned our homes. Both our mothers suggested Claire separate us rather than trying to get us to shut up! LOL
ReplyDeleteI had a teacher who was very large and she used to threaten to sit on us if we were noisy or being naughty!!
ReplyDeleteThe consequences for misbehaving was to sit outside the classroom in a straight back chair for the whole period.

Cleaning the boards..a dusty job. My mother tells me of being tapped on the head by teachers wearing thimbles.. unlikely to happen these days. ABC fabric is delightful and will be fun to use. Thanks!!
ReplyDelete5th grade, nun
ReplyDeleteWrapped my braid around her hand and pulled me to the floor
I've been asked to stand outside the classroom until the end of the period...Thanks for the great giveaway!
