I say "we". I didn't.

...You called the teacher "Sir" or "Miss". None of this "Call me Francis" crap.

...There were only 5 continents Americans say "in school" When I was in high school we had a student smoking section, for any age. I moved during 8th grade, but the High School in my old neighborhood had what were called "dirty lavs" which were bathrooms you could smoke in. You'd get parental permission and they gave you an ID card that allowed you in. The school had an open campus, so I suppose this was a way to keep more students inside. ...You called the teacher "Sir" or "Miss". None of this "Call me Francis" crap. I experienced that one year in elementary school when 4th through 6th grades participated in an experimental educational curriculum. One teacher went by the nickname "Mountain", some teachers used first names and some were "Mr. Wagoner" or "Mrs. Murray", etc. |

Do you have a minimum age for buying cigs currently? When I was in school there was no minimum age for buying them. |

I have never called a teacher sir (we used Mr.) and we only used Miss if the teacher was single, but I didn't call them by their first name either. Except in college, I had a super cool English Lit teacher who liked being called Barry. He was Art Garfunkle's roommate in college. |

Interesting, I've never heard of that. We had scheduled breaks and lunch to smoke outside so most kids never smoked in the bathroom. I don't know how well the "parental permission" part would've went over either  |

Legend has it he got so fed up with Art's relentless singing, he shouted "Shut up, Art! I prefer the sound of silence!"  |

I didn't smoke, but we had a "smoking tree" where smokers gathered around behind the school. It was allowed for most of my High School years, but Senior year the Principal outlawed smoking despite a minor protest among students. |

When I was at school...
There were very few minorities...1 African American, 2 Orientals (Chinese/Asian?) in my graduating class. Yes, not much diversity and I graduated in 1984. Today, the same school is much more diverse.
