Our RI teacher looked like Hitler in a dog collar.

Most of the staff were bad teachers and they were all bullies. The pupils at our school weren't bullies.......... just the teachers.

They all loved to use the cane on us and some just belted us across the face with the back of their hand.

Maddie,

It's called indoctrination or...... as the Military call it...... Brain Washing.

I received the Religious Knowledge Prize at School. Not that I knew anything about Religion. I was just repeating things Parrot fashion.

Bad Teachers or just Wicked Persons ?

One particularly nasty teacher was the Aunt of my Best Man. She had the occassion to visit my home when I was married, the purpose of which now escapes me.

My dog, a well trained German Shepherd, normally had a wee sniff at visitors and then lay down again.

He snarled and growled at this woman and had her literally pinned in a corner. I called him down and he lay in his usual place but never took his eyes off her. Now and again he would give a deep throaty growl.

Yep ! Animals have a great instinct.

Stephen

I attended Church of England Schools. we had one strick teacher Mrs O Sullvian the others were very fair. when we had our Religious instructions in the mornings the Vicar came from our little church.of St Marys.to take the service.

Later when I went onto the Girls school we had assembly the Catholic Girls filed into a seperate class room where the Priest had come to give them their mass. while we stayed in the Hall and had our Vicar come.
This was in the 40's we had quiet a few Catholic Girls at the school even though there were at least three Catholic school nearby.

Ah, overcrowded classrooms and staff that should never have been allowed near children, let alone teach them................. that sounds more like my school, Stephen!!

Morning all, it's very wet here again.

Cath........... a map!!! Men don't need maps or instructions for anything, or so they think!!

Shelly, I hope we'll be getting photos of the special day.

Pat, we had those inkwells at school as well, I thought it was great when I got a cartridge pen for my birthday one year. The school pens were a piece of wood with a nib on the end.

I'm trying to watch the Promise on C4.
I nodded off and I've lost the plot. I think it's due to the lack of a lie-in!
I'm going to get a cup of coffee. Caffeine is good!

School days. I loved the bit about the ink wells. I had those at the junior school I went to. I used a cartridge pen so I was ok. I hated when I first used an ink pen because being left handed I would smudge my work!
going to wash my hair now x
