Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

I had that one (or similar brand) back in the day. I distinctly remember having to change the ink cartridge in the middle of an essay during 5th grade. The ink cartridge bent and broke instead of being punctured by the feed tube, and the ink spilled everywhere, all over my paper and my desk. Old Miss Marisa was not pleased, especially since she was always on my case about writing with ink anyway. I hated pencils back then.
 
I'm 43 and I know I've seen them, but I can't recall what it is.

TBH, I might have just used them as a kid like ninja stars and thrown them at things/people?

I'm 34 and I know what this is. Granted, I have a modest vinyl collection I started building when I was in my 20s. I actually lost the adapter that came with my turntable and should probably get a new one, but I only have LPs and I rarely play them as it is so 🤷‍♂️
 
My sophomore year of high school was the first year they offered a computer science class. The catch was that you had to take CS one semester and then typing the other. Luckily I took typing first and am so glad I did.
Hmm, judging by yours and others' posts, I must be the outlier here. We had Middle School for grades 6-8. High School was (obviously) 9-12.
Never referred to it as Jr High, but we knew the term.
Same here where I grew up. Middle school was grades 6-8, high school was 9-12. However, my sophomore year they created a 9th grade center and high school became grades 10-12.
The Tulsa area still has a Dairy Queen. ONE. Our son loves it, though.
