Another user remembered, "I used to give attendance for myself and two others in different voice tones whenever they were absent. We’d sneak through the back door after that!"
The video resonates with many, bringing back memories of playful classroom moments. As Keerthana Kashyap fondly remarked, "I miss sitting in a class like this with 70 others, laughing in sync."
