Ah, being a small child in the sixties. Teachers were powerful beings who could destroy you with a look. Particularly in a small town. No need to take a note home, they’d call your mom and dad before you got back from school and tell all. Remember it well.
Re: orinocoI remember being in school in the 60s as well, but my experience was clearly different. Teachers definitely sent notes home, though when the fifth grader got caught selling pot, there was at least one phone call made. Loved those innocent 60s and 70s. Meanwhile at my son’s high school, they had one little fight, and it made local news. Go figure.
“Charlie, we know your sister stole that crayon. If you don’t tell us what you know, we could hold you as an accessory to crayon theft. You wanna think some more about what you know about it?”
I took a lot of things from school that don’t belong to me. For instance, I took two Driver’s Ed. textbooks home from school last year and I never brought them back. They are still in my closet!

Must be a yellow crayon – she got it all over the two of them. No hiding the evidence now!

They don’t allow crayons anymore because someone could sharpen one into a shiv.

And we never tasted that sweet smelling paste b’cuz we didn’t know what the word “non-toxic” on thr jar meant!

Yes, Sally did wrong – she’s supposed to eat the crayon at school, not at home.

I’ve accidentally took a pen or a pencil belonging to the school home with me. Nobody noticed.
I remember taking a very special pen belonging to my Science teacher home by accident but I returned it the next day.
