I had an English teacher I had a crush on. In one class she mentioned the next person to talk will get three hundred lines!
I deliberately spoke to my neighbour and received three hundred lines “Talking in class will bring about instant punishment. This is it.”
With homework as well it was a busy night.
Later I also engineered another punishment from her which resulted in my copying out three pages of a school dictionary!
