1. I never got in trouble - ever!
I was very quiet in school.

I talked back to the lunch room lady and the nuns made me sit UNDER the table where my friends were eating, and they threw food at me! :cry:

6. while usually thepet, I got into trouble very eary (1st grade) for
"working ahead" - and then being bored when they were covering something I knew - like reading. Then I goofed around to the point my mother was called in. I remember waiting out in the Hall for the conference to be over. My Mom walked out and said "Well, that won't happen again." I thought she meant I was going to pe punished, but good. But no words were spoken after that BUT the next week a new group was formed in the class for early readers. Smart Mom.

7. Yes
I never cheated that I remember, but I did a lot of "goofing around". I still have a note from my first grade teacher that was sent home that told on me for "cutting" class. I was out on the swings and didn't feel like going in. My first grade teacher told on me a lot.
Second grade was my only year that I was not in any trouble, but from then on I got in a lot. Our family moved in the middle of my third grade year and one the first day of school at my new school I got in trouble for cracking jokes behind the teacher's back.
Another milestone was that I got the first ever demerit to be handed out in my Catholic grade school. It was the first day of class and I threw a Ho Ho at someone and it got mushed into the carpet..lol. They had just started the demerit system that year and I got the first one within hours of the new school year.
School was fun for me a lot of times, but I paid a heavy price. :evilgrin:

8. In third grade I was sent home with a report card which said
in the comments section that I was a real "asset" to the class. Didn't know what an asset was, but it didn't sound good. I looked it up before giving it to my mom.

9. I was very chatty.
They would use words like 'gregarious' on my report card, to be polite, and I would have to look them up in the dictionary :)

11. Yes!
I didn't like following the rules so I started Keep away games which were forbidden. I talked to my friends when I finished my work. I cut class. I challenged the teachers when I thought their policies were unfair. The main comment on my Report Cards was that, "I wish she would apply herself more." I got almost all A's so that comment always annoyed me.

I still don't like rules much but I'm much more polite about it. I cringe with how rude I was at times.

12. Yes, many many times.
I was suspended on several occasions from 5th to 8th Grade, and I was expelled from school in 8th Grade (This was the time I was arrested for assault).

I became better by the time I was in 9th Grade, and by 10th Grade I became a pretty normal, law-abiting teenager.

13. No
I might have gotten my name on the board one but that was it. I considered it a very bad thing to get in trouble.
