In Elementary school Ms. Hoffman told us about how Napoleon died from a compound of Arsenic and Copper used to make the pigment in the green wallpaper that adorned his room. For the rest of the year we'd always say things like "Anything but the green wallpaper!"

And that is my flashback of the day.

I didn't realize you had gone to Harry Stone. I guess that was when she taught 4-6? I had her for math in 8th. That was a terrible, terrible class. She would put the answers for the homework on the board and then let us check our own, so you can imagine how much work we actually did. One of our major assignments was vocabulary in the back of the book. Mr. Hoffman, on the other hand, taught the best English class ever. Oddly enough, though, we never learned any English. That and he told the worst masturbation jokes about Helen Keller.

Nope, I went to The Canterbury Episcopal School. But I did have horrible math teachers while I was there. Coincidence? I think not.

... I still say that sometimes. When I walk into houses with green wallpaper, I'm like, "!omg!" (yes with the double exlamations)

WHAT?

Maybe it was a different Ms. Hoffman? She and her husband are both Jewish, so that would be kind of odd.
