Generally, the rule of thumb for most of the teachers was, if you were talking in class and they told you to be quiet, they wouldn’t tell you the next time, you would get your butt paddled.
At the reunion, Lisa was still bitter about the paddling. Her words “that bitch Preston.” And she never mentioned that she achieved better academically. She wasn’t and still isn’t very smart. But, she married a fairly wealthy man and he passed away in a motorcycle accident and left her pretty well off. I still see her now and again. She’s doing okay for herself.
