There was a kid in my 3rd grade class (which was a basement classroom, something parents would flip about today) who definitely didn’t known multiplication, spent many a lunch hour writing the same sentence over and over until the iterations added up to the number the teacher wanted. She was a WAC or WAVE in WWII Philippines. :^)

We had to learn up to 12 times 12 when I was in third grade too.

Today's "Pluggers" cartoon is somewhat related.

What? The kids don't have to do it any more?
