This really deserves a post on its own. These sharpeners were screwed in to various places in the classrooms. Since there was a rule by "English" that required every boy to have "three sharpened pencils", they provided sharpeners. Those that still had the covers on them were used to collect the slivers from the sharpened pencils and were then dumped down the backs of the shirts of kids who were being bullied.... There was ONE electric pencil sharpener: in the front office. Those kids who, for the sake of staying out of class, would stand and sharpen pencils (until there was nothing left) usually got whacked by the office door....
