812 1102.6871I got up and moved to the back of the room.1104.8215

842 1151.1662commanded the room. She had complete respect.1154.1038 
844 1154.7427If someone was talking, she would never holler. Only thing she would do was tap the eraser on the desk- Now, you know how quiet that is,1161.1950

900 1238.4955idea that they had theirs, and you have to get yours, instead of- It didn't seem to have an interest. It seemed like it was just a job to them to come from nine to three or from eight thirty to three thirty, whatever the [time] was.1250.3417 
901DCA_int_021249.6749[Uh-huh.]1250.0292

918 1267.5350your work,1268.0899 
920 1268.8313not the quality of the work. It mattered if you1271.2502 
922 1271.8330talked in class or didn't talk in class.1274.2158 
924 1274.6121And to me, that doesn't have anything to do with your education. If you get a A-1278.4392 
925DCA_int_021278.9754Mm-hm.1279.3951
926DCA_se3_ag2_m_011279.3578If you a A student,1280.6214
927 1281.4095as I was in one class, and you talked a lot1283.5952
929 1284.0055so she gives you a B,1285.3531 
931 1285.9267that doesn't give anyone any incentive.1287.7965 
933 1288.1788M-1288.4306 
935 1288.8911In my-1289.4040 
937 1289.6232one of my classes in junior high school, I had a straight A average1292.6121 
939 1293.1297in History, but she gave me a B because I talked too much.1296.1501 
941 1296.5884Yet, there's another side of report card that says,1299.1716 
943 1299.4981conduct in class, and you-1300.8643 
945 1301.0683and she marked me down for that too. It seems like1303.2878 
947 1303.7262if she was gonna mark me fairly, she woulda given me a A, and then marked me down on the other side, but she did both.1309.1293 
948DCA_int_021310.6727Mm-hm.1311.1856
950 1312.7792How about uh, kids in the class, did they ever1315.1060 
952 1315.2878pull any tricks on the teacher? /Anything/?1317.1763 
953DCA_se3_ag2_m_011317.3535Oh yes, we used to-1318.4633
955 1318.7745The teachers we didn't like, we pulled some rotten tricks on 'em.1321.9873

963 1329.6892the teacher came in late. She was about- It was about ten after nine when she came in.1333.9919 
965 1334.6867So we decided we were gonna put a tack in her chair.1337.1755

976 1349.0869<ts> she gave the trouble makers in the classroom a stiff warning.1352.5981 
977DCA_int_021354.7792Very good.1355.4134
979 1356.0848How about you- You ever get caught?1357.4650 
980DCA_se3_ag2_m_011358.0479I got caught plenty of times, especially in grade school because from the first through the fifth grade, I was in classrooms with1364.4722
982 1364.6028teachers that knew my mother.1366.6032 
984 1367.0963Because my mother went to DC Teachers and most of them did too.1370.4209
