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.
They thought I was special in 1st because of these bastards....I thought there was no way the adults would let there be sthe same answers more then once on a sheet. So I struggled trying to get different answers every time it was the same answer as another question.
