We would spend sometimes a full Math class reciting our times tables. Then the Nun would fire a question 10 x 9 and if you got it wrong, one whack of the bamboo stick. I was terrified of that stick and made sure I recited them 'parrot fashion' as it was known in those days. I can still answer correctly, much to the surprise of my 30-year-old granddaughter who still struggles with it.
