I once [genuinely] forgot to take in some English homework and was given 500 lines by teacher. [Moorhead circa 1982]
Whilst sat at home that evening doing the said lines my father asked what I was doing.I explained and he promptly threw the 10 or so lines in the bin and said I should do no more. He accompanied me to school the following morning and berated my teacher for giving me lines to do;"if you need to give her something to write make it a bloody essay;you are supposed to be teaching her English!"
Dad was a lecturer in English at the college and had a more "modern" outlook to teaching!
