I remember getting sent to the Principals office by the study hall supervisor for “talking in study hall” when somebody tapped me on the shoulder and I looked around to see if it was him because that’s what he always did when we were needed in the front office or Doctors appt. I got 3 swats for nothing. I still get angry over that one.
