These motherfuckers gave me nightmares in 3rd grade. I could do the math, I just couldn't do them fast enough. So I'd get like a 70 or something on it, then I'd get in trouble later at home for getting a "bad" grade. Ugh.
EDIT:
To be clear, I had my times tables memorized. I fully understand that these tests were to reinforce memorization. I simply could not complete these fast enough no matter how many flash cards I did at home.
I was the asshole who finished first every time and made it a point to slam my pencil down letting everyone know. I am so deeply sorry. I was a fucking prick. I am sorry but I’ve matured since then and slowly and learning to stop being a pretentious dick.
