The Worst Kind Of Writing

Did you ever have to do standards? When I was in grade school, it seemed like everytime we have a substitute teacher, the entire class got standards for homework. I hated standards so much. Not only because we had to do like 500, but because we always had to turn them in to our regular teacher the next day and she would fuss at us. The substitute always made it clear that she would tell the teacher everyone who acted up. Problem was, I rarely ever acted up in grade school. I was for the most part, the homie, outcast, that everyone picked on. I needed the teacher to be on my side. But when most of the class acted up, evryone got punished. My fingers would be throbing and aching like crazy, after about two hundred. I tried to number them wrong and that worked sometimes. We would also try I do it a quicker way, or at least we thought it was quicker at the time. We would write: I will not talk during class. I will not I I We didn't have sense enough to see that all that did was make it take even longer.

I don't understand what you mean by standards. Do you mean doing lines? Like what we had to do in detention in primary school. I've never heard of anyone having to do lines for homework, it was always a punishment meant to keep you from being out in the playground at lunchtime.

I believe we are talking about the same thing and yes, we had to do it for homework. Come to think of it, our parents had to sign them also.
