Your first teacher

Well, my kindergarten teacher during a Halloween party, wanted me to stand behind a pumpkin and talk, pretending to be the voice of the damned pumpkin...After I muttered how stupid this was, at age five, I was grounded and sent to the cloakroom for 15 minutes....A girl named Holly brought me a piece of cake...

Aww yes...Miss Jolley. Grade one. Tried to change me from left handed to right handed. That didn't work. Other than that she was nice...In a grandmotherly sort of way.

She also had this disciplinary thing...Everyone in class started each month with 50 good points and every "indiscretion" would lose the student one point.

What she didn't realize for a couple of months the boys would compete to see who could get the lowest mark. I won in October. The bad person list was stopped in
December.
 
Mrs Miles was my first grade teacher and maybe she was a good teacher but all I recall of her is her big fat arms as she spanked children with a yard stick! I recently looked at her photo and she pretty well had normal size arms and not quite as I remembered. :) She was a meanie though! We had 3 Linda's in my class, Big Linda, Linda Ann (me), and little Linda. Little Linda was a tiny girl who obviously was too young to be in school. She would leave her desk and walk around the class and look at things and appeared to have no idea where she was. As I remember, and I hope I'm wrong, Little Linda got a HARD spanking with the yard stick every day for not staying at her desk! I know it happened at lest 2or 3 times a week. She would make her bend over the side of the desk and in those days girls usually wore dresses to school, and wham the hell out of her little behind and legs!! I have NO IDEA why her parents didn't find out and do something about that woman! As I recall Little Linda was there the whole year though. I often wonder what became of her. I also wonder if she kept these spankings to herself or if she mentioned it at home. Mrs. Miles gave a few of the other girls spankings from time to time but I could tell they were not as hard as the ones Little Linda got. She also whipped up on the boys regularly. I wonder how many yard sticks she went through a year.
