Yep, old as the hills. And real chalkboards with real chalk...

I was in public schools, not Catholic, but I had a junior high math teacher who was renowned for her use of rulers. Funny how we tended to pay more attention in her classes...

Oh, one more question for the students - Are you required to take notes in class these days? (I guess you'd just type them into your laptop instead of having to use pencil and paper like us old dinosaurs.) Or do you just download the teacher's lecture material?

Home schooled, I assume? I've heard that that's often better academically, but then you ten to miss out on the social stuff.

I go to veterans memorial high school in texas

As it relates to kids not paying attention in school, the cartoon South Park discovered an amazing treatment for kids with that problem.
