I recall in shop class in 1968 you would receive 3 licks if caught
using the jointer to surface more one edge and one side or to clean up

I think some guys were and are unreasonable... I cannot tell you how
many times I've uncovered defects on the first jointed edge or face of
rough cut that led me to joint the opposite edge and/or face so that the
defect would be removed by the thickness planer or saw in final
dimensioning... I see it as a lack of reasonableness in their position
on things.

Then you would proceed with straightening the opposite edge as usual
with the TS, flipping the board, and cutting the board to width with the
defect on the waste side.
Same would apply to a face with a defect.
