My vice was picking the dried glue off the Elmer's glue bottle.

One day I was put into time out (though I don't think they called it that then), and I sat my book upright, and took out my glue, and squirted it all over the desk, and I sat by and waited for it to dry, where I could gleefully pick the dried bits off. The teacher came by and told me to put my book down, and then she saw that glue everywhere.

I'm certain I gave her some gray hairs that day.

I was a bit of a loner and an underachiever. I once had a teacher send me to counciling because she thought I was slow. I was to take a test, instead of doing that I just sat there doing nothing. Then the lady, administering the test, told me I wouldn't leave until I did something on the test, so I completed it in 10 minutes or so. She told my parents, I was very bright and obviously wasn't challenged in school.

So, Runs with scissors
 

Mostly "E"s and "S"s, only one "N" and never a "U".

(Geez, I hated that goofy grading system from elementary school. I cried just as much when I got that "N" as I ever would have if I had gotten a "D".)

And "plays well with others" was a phrase ALWAYS on my old report cards, even if I never did get invited to any parties. :)
 



Too bad there is not an option for 'the one taking scissors from brother,' so I will have to go with 'plays well with others.'

I was the one who made friends with the teachers and other students. My grades were never great, but if I could have had a grade for social it would have helped that GPA!
 


I was a mixture of "plays well with others" and "need improvement". I was usually the median student of straight B's (and high C's for those classes that I didn't care for).
 

I was firmly in the "gets beaten up well by others" camp in elementary and middle school. Things got better in high school. I was the quintessential geek, but fatter. In high school, I lost weight, worked out and got a job as a lifeguard. Keeping a clipboard and a dice box at the chair to work on character and campaign creation while lifeguarding was something I probably shouldn;t have done, but nobody ever died on my watch and only one rescue in 3 years. It was a pool in the mobile home park I lived in, so it was pretty quiet most of the time. I think I was just there to get a break on insurance or something.
