Hey. In Mrs. Milbrath's hands that 12 inch beige-colored eraser was almost as deadly as a handgun.
Roman Catholic nuns (pre Vatican II) had a course during their novitiate years on throwing the eraser quickly and accurately.

I once had chalk thrown at me so hard it vaporized on the wall about a foot above my head. There wasn’t a piece larger than a quark left of that thing. I think the eraser followed it a month later.

My 7th grade math teacher once threw a large foam rock at one of my classmates who was acting up. Best part was his mom gave it to her expressly for that purpose.![]()

Holy sh-t, they must have instructional league for that because exactly the same thing happened to me in CCD. You're not going to believe this but during catechism I was a bit of a smartas-s.
Anyway, that sharp "snap" sound stays with me to this day. There is nothing like it. There's even a faint, high-pitched hum like a bullet.
I know what I'm getting my daughter for her birthday. She just started teaching elementary school.
No higher calling. Some of her students will remember her for the rest of their lives.
As students walk, the teacher shooting spree continues.
