The school thinks, "Poor sweet baby . . ."<BR><BR>
A THOUSAND TIMES?!!! Holy Moley, her fingers must be hurting TERRIBLY, to say the least! Bruised, in fact! Really, to make a student write something THAT many number of times must certainly be equivalent to CORPORAL PUNISHMENT!!! I can remember 50 or 100 times, but 1000, for crying out loud? Such a teacher must be SUCH A REAL TYRANT, indeed!!!
