Perdo's a rebel? Who knew?

Even got suspended from school for a sit-in we organized the day after MLK was shot. The flag was flying full and we asked it to be lowered and the principal declined. 300 of us were suspended that week, and when it got to the newspapers, it wasn't pretty. The principal was fired 3 weeks later!

We don't need no

This sort of reminds me of when I was in college and my dad insisted I take CALCULUS (I was a psychology/philosophy major).  I asked him why and he told me, "You'll use it every day for the rest of your life."  One of the things he was totally wrong about.

Maybe he got it confused with MICROWAVING?  A common mistake.   
 
Oh wait, you said you were a psychology/philosophy major - my bad.  He probably confused it with GETTING UNEMPLOYMENT.

This is the first calculator I remember having in our house. I'm pretty sure you had to plug it in. I remember tapping away at the keys thinking I was some kind of astronaut.

We had one of those too. They were too cool!
 
I still have a scientific TI calculator that I use occasionally. Have you seen the current crop? While they may be replaced with apps, the new dedicated calcs are incredible.
 
Back OT, anyone remember getting paddled? And the shop teachers having paddles that looked like a thick butcher block with holes drilled in it? The PE coach using his whistle leash? I guess that may be just me.

I remember the boards with holes.  Our principal in grade school had one with Board of Education on it!
