We had the rope. I don't think I ever made it more than a couple of feet. Horrible.
As far as the Pledge goes, it ranks a big "whatever" from me. We did it. Nobody ever explained what it meant. There was no other patriotic "must-dos". I think it was just a way for teachers to get our attention at the beginning of class.
As an adult, I understand the meaning. But I've probably been in less than a dozen situations as an adult where the Pledge was recited.
