When I  in grade school part of our lessons involved  memorizeing  poems or math or English lessons.

To this day I can still remember what it felt like to go up to the blackboard and have to recite those lessons in front of the class with the teacher sitting there with his or her green ( and later red ) grade book.

Nah, I wasn’t scared I used to blow it for fun.

Just to see the look on everyone’s face.

Or I’d bust out with a song from School House Rock.

Those were the days.
